A special event taking place at the Akita Museum of Art looks at the works of Osamu Watanabe (1980 - ), a Yamaguchi-born contemporary artist who is famous for using resin cream and piping bags to create his unique pieces.
This exhibition will take on the theme of a "Kingdom of Sweets", where models of animals and buildings look almost good enough to eat!
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1000 yen, and no advance reservations are required.
Getting there
The Akita Museum of Art is located approximately ten minutes on foot from Akita Station, served by the Akita shinkansen, the Ou Main Line, the Uetsu Main Line, and the Oga Line.
For those who opt to drive, the museum is around 10 minutes from the Akita Chuo IC on the Akita Expressway. There is no dedicated parking lot, so patrons are advised to park at the nearby paid Nakaichi Parking Lot.
