Matsuri exhibition and optional lunch at HoMA

The calendar in Japan is marked by numerous "matsuri" (festivals) with diverse origins, including Buddhism and Shinto, ancient cultural practices, and seasonal changes. On view at HoMA in Matsuri! are screens, woodblock prints, and hanging scrolls, by artists such as Utagawa Kuniyoshi and Shibata Zeshin, that reveal surprisingly different approaches to this single subject. This exhibit runs April 17–August 17, 2025. More info: Matsuri! | Honolulu Museum of Art

HoMA is open 10am-6pm. Non-resident admission $25; Kamaʻāina $15. More info: Visit HoMA | Honolulu Museum of Art

I plan to arrive at 10am to view the exhibit (1-2 hours) and then have coffee/lunch in the cafe. If you just wish to join only for lunch, there is no admission fee for the cafe. More info: Café and Coffee Bar | Honolulu Museum of Art
