A special event taking place at the Nerima Art Museum looks at an interesting, niche topic when it comes to art — the presence of electric wires and utility poles in different works. While oftentimes these wires and poles are seen as a blight on a landscape, there is often a nostalgic, hometown element to them, too.
The exhibition will showcase a variety of works that span from the early Meiji era to the present day, from the likes of Kiyochika Kobayashi, Ryusei Kishida, Gentaro Kogure, and Akira Yamaguchi to name just a handful.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1,000 yen.
