Hirosawa Museum - Chikusei

A number of wonderful collections are "casually" decorated. In such a place ..., a hidden sight, a wonderful museum.

As it was designed by Kengo Kuma, I went out with expectations. There is an art museum in a corner of Hirosawa City, but despite Saturday, there is no figure on Hirosawa Road and I feel lonely! The garden, which uses 6,000 tons of natural stone, is wonderful, but there is only one staff member at the reception, so it may be worrisome for those who rent out art. When I entered the museum in Ikewaki as a group, the copper plate work exhibited in the center of the museum was miserably scratched by a cross, and I think that those who delivered the work will be sad. Also, I was surprised that there is no discount even if I bring a disability certificate while running an affiliated Tsukubashi Dental Welfare College on the premises. Perhaps the operator runs a welfare school but has no understanding of welfare. In June, it seems that the Zero Fighter will be exhibited in partnership with the National Museum of Nature and Science, but I hope that you will have to make a Buddha and put your soul into it. By the way, the Konkon Gallery in Ishioka City is a small facility compared to the Hirosawa Museum, where volunteers are on duty, but the advice and consideration for recognizing the goodness of the work is different.

I visited again in May 2021. I went to see Kazumasa Nakagawa's exhibition, but this time it seems that it is divided into the first half and the second half. The number of paintings on display is small, and the storyline from the selected works is weak. The admission fee of 1000 yen may be reasonable for the first time, but every time after that, 1000 yen is a high impression. For the first time, I will go around to see the sculptures around me, but if I go there several times, I will not see it many times. What I was interested in was that I mentioned the address and name in the explanation of corona countermeasures at the reception, but the DM of the exhibition guide arrived the other day, and I think it was sent using the list. Recently, when using a list, there are many places where the purpose is explained in advance and a license is obtained, so it is a flow to be careful about the handling of personal information, so I was worried about using the list other than corona measures. .. There should be no offense in sending DMs, but since there are many fraud cases from the list, I would like you to manage them thoroughly. Also, there was a car on the front door, but it was abrupt and didn't suit the atmosphere of the museum. I heard from the receptionist that it is a collection of the museum. I was worried about various aspects of Chiguhagu. --- I visited on January 29, 2021. To see the work of Shiko Munakata and the building of Kengo Kuma. Since the number of exhibits by Shiko Munakata is small, it seems that the exhibits are divided into the first half and the second half. Kengo Kuma's building has a nice garden, so I thought it would be good for a walk. The admission fee for the museum is 1000 yen for adults, but if you only look at the garden without entering the museum, you could enter without the admission fee, but what about? I have not confirmed it, so please check it yourself. Also, there are many sculptures in the Art Forest Annex, and there are several works by Mr. Churyo Sato, so it was a nice coincidence because I didn't know. It is important to note that if you are going to the Hirosawa Museum for the first time by car, if you park at the parking lot (free of charge) just after turning the intersection, you may not know the entrance to the Hirosawa Museum. I didn't know and went to the stone sculpture hall. I would like to introduce it as a reference.

I went to see the Yokoyama Taikan exhibition. The beauty of Mt. Fuji is different one by one, so you will forget the time. Also, the gardens are beautiful and the sculptures are wonderful. It's nice to see it up close. Also, the annex was outstanding. I have been deprived of my time. There are only wonderful things such as pottery, paintings and sculptures. If it wasn't cold, I wanted to watch it slowly ~ Kengo Kuma's building also has beautiful wood grain and matches the garden. It is a comfortable space because it is in harmony with the light.

Although there are few works on display, there are some highlights such as the gardens of the three concepts. It is a good place to visit not only here but also as a place to enjoy throughout Hirosawa City. Other museums will open in January 2022, so it may be more enjoyable at that time.

A museum that boasts stones and a Japanese garden that opened this year. Currently, the works of Japanese Western painters in the early Showa period are on display. At the entrance, Code Seven, designed and produced by Japanese designer Ken Okuyama, who was in charge of the design of former Ferrari, is on display. Enjoy relaxing paintings, stroll around the Japanese garden, and take a break at the coffee shop in front of the museum Japan's first passenger plane YS-11 and old cars will be exhibited in Hirosawa Town in the future.

I was attracted to Kengo Kuma's architecture and garden from the exhibited works and visited. Although it is smaller than the Adachi Museum of Art, the admission fee was less than half.

I saw a special exhibition of Mt. Fuji by Yokoyama Taikan. The number of exhibits is delicate if you are aiming for this. The highlight of this museum is the garden (the Adachi Museum of Art, which is famous for its garden, also has a lot of Yokoyama Taikan. Are you aware of it?)! The strange thing is the garden where you can't see Mt. Tsukuba from anywhere. I haven't borrowed the scenery. I wonder if you should actually go to Mt. Tsukuba. The end of the bus to this museum was Tsukubasanguchi. I couldn't go this time, but next time I would like to visit this museum and Mt. Tsukuba as a set.
