Special Site

The exhibition was held with a well-balanced and diverse lineup of veteran, mid-career, and young artists.

Many of the authors whose names are listed here are still active in the 2020s.

This exhibition was held only at Clematis Hill/Vangi Sculpture Garden and did not travel to other museums.

My fragment of memory

On the day I visited, Clematis Hill/Vangi Sculpture Garden was open at night, and I was able to enjoy the various expressions of the works under the contrasting light of the bright daytime and dim nighttime views.

I stayed there from noon and ate dinner at the now-defunct restaurant CIAO CIAO, which was so delicious I ended up eating a little too much.

The Vangi Sculpture Garden, which is currently closed, is holding many wonderful exhibitions in addition to this one, and I have visited the museum for every special exhibition, so I am looking forward to its reopening.

As of 2024, there is no prospect of reopening the museum, and it appears that it will be closed. It is a shame that this museum, which has been such a valuable place for so many contemporary writers, will be closed.
