A special exhibition taking place at the Saga Arashiyama Museum of Arts and Culture looks at works from painters who have suffered from various forms of bad luck, including illness and the loss of family members. Whilst the painters showcased at the event traversed hardships in life, their works often showed a light and beauty that transcended this.
The event will be held in conjunction with the Fukuda Art Museum, and some of the pieces on display include Goseda Horyu's "Clam digging", Kishi Ganku's "Fukurokuju", and Shinichi Yamauchi's "Spring Light".
Adult admission to the event is priced at 900 yen.
