Affectionately remembered as \u201cHakata no Sengai-san,\u201d he remains a beloved figure today. This autumn, Fukuoka Art Museum will present 36 works by Sengai, selected from its collection of more than 200 pieces. The exhibition highlights his distinctive way of conveying Zen teachings in accessible and often playful forms.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_172864\" style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-172864\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fn_sengai-exhibition_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C1058&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1058\" class=\"size-full wp-image-172864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fn_sengai-exhibition_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fn_sengai-exhibition_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C227&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fn_sengai-exhibition_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C774&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fn_sengai-exhibition_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C580&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-172864\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u4ed9\u5393\u7fa9\u68b5\u300a\u5186\u76f8\u56f3\u300b\u6c5f\u6238\u6642\u4ee3\u300019\u4e16\u7d00<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u2022 8\/26 (Tue.) ~ 10\/19 (Sun.)<br \/>\n\u2022 9:30~17:30 *open until 20:00 on Fri. and Sat. from Aug to Oct (last entry: 30 min. before closing)<br \/>\n\u2022 Closed: Mon.
