The 7th Onsen Art Exhibit will be held in Futsukaichi Hot Springs district of Chikushino from Apr. 19 to 29. The event features an event planned by a former participant in which guests can don kimonos and tour the exhibit venues. The exhibit began as the Onsen Flower Show in 2008 when a local florist started placing floral decorations in cafes and hotels in the hot springs district. Its name was changed to Onsen Art Exhibit in 2010 when a local artists’ group took over organization duties. This year’s event will feature stained glass, wood carvings, flower arrangement, paper craft and many more exhibits at eight venues. There’s also a puppet show, talk panels, tea lecture, pottery and ceramics painting workshops, plus live performances of piano, saxophone and vocals. Admission is free of charge. Direct inquiries for the art exhibits to Inoue-san at 092-924-1885.
