PLUS, enjoy the annual festival at awesome, KONNO HACHIMAN SHRINE!

"During the Edo period, a diverse array of highly individual artists emerged, and their unique styles took the world by storm. Their works continue to fascinate people to this day.

Our collection includes superb works by the six giants of ukiyo-e: Suzuki Harunobu, Torii Kiyonaga, Kitagawa Utamaro, Tōshūsai Sharaku, Katsushika Hokusai, and Utagawa Hiroshige.

This exhibition will display all those select works, also introduces a delightfully exciting selection of ukiyo-e, including "giga", farcical pictures by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, presented thanks to the cooperation of the famous Ōta Memorial Museum of Art,."

Thanks to the NHK Taiga historical drama featuring Tsutaya Jūzaburō, the ukiyo-e publisher or hanmoto, ukiyo-e have been attracting considerable attention this year!"

The excellent Kokugakuin University Museum currently has two superb, FREE exhibitions, "AYNU MOSIR", and "MIKOSHI", both of which will end soon. I guarantee you will enjoy this astonishingly fine, but strangely little-known museum!

Before & after viewing the exhibitions, to maximize our joy of living in Japan, we'll be stopping by a number of shrines, monuments, "Power Spots" & a couple of unique museums in the Ebisu-Shibuya Area!
🔆🔆🔆
Places we might visit include:

  • Ebisu-jinja Shinto Shrine
  • Koshin Hashikuyo Monument
  • Amida-Sekkanbutsu
  • Shitsusen-ji Temple
  • Hokiichi Hanawa Historical Museum
  • Yakuoin Hosen-ji Temple
  • Shibuya Hikawa-jinja
  • Kokugakuin University Museum
  • Kono Hachiman Shrine

This is a great chance to stretch our legs & socialize while discovering some of the superb artistic, cultural & historical treasures of this, "off-the-beaten-path" area that most people never see!
🌞
There are lovely neighborhood temples & shrines with superb gardens & a green park by the jinja where we can eat our picnic lunches, so bring what you need & maybe something to share.
