Kashiigu Shrine, one of only 16 shrines in Japan and two in Kyushu (alongside Usa Shrine), receives an imperial envoy for its sacred rituals. Known for its myth-laden grounds, the shrine features the Kusunoki-lined road, or “Chokushi-do,” leading to its entrance, as well as the unique architectural style of the main hall known as “Kashii-zukuri.” This exhibition highlights the shrine and the surrounding Kashii area through the lens of local visual artists. Seven artists, along with students from a nearby arts high school, present approximately 15 pieces—including paintings, sculptures, and installations—that explore harmony between art, place, and history, inspired by their research on Kashii.
