This year marks the 110th anniversary since the birth of the painter Ujiyama Teppei (1910 - 1986), who was born in Hita City in Oita Prefecture. A special event at the Oita Prefectural Art Museum (OPAM) looks at a variety of works that were completed throughout Ujiyama's life, which drew inspiration from things like the nature in the surrounding area and the geometric configuration of the mandala to name just a couple.
Adult admission to the exhibition is priced at 800 yen.
