Onomichi City Museum of Art
Finished
The main building's collection began with its opening in 1980 and has since been centered around the works of Kazusaku Kobayashi, an honorary citizen of Onomichi and a Western-style painter. Alongside Kobayashi, the collection includes works from artists with ties to Onomichi, such as the Japanese painter Nanjinshi Moriya.

This exhibition, themed "Painted Seto Inland Sea," features a large piece titled "Onomichi Panorama" by Hiroshi Nakane, followed by a landscape series depicting Onomichi by renowned artists such as Takuji Nakamura and Kazumasa Nakagawa. It also provides insights into the creative process of Kobayashi through watercolor, Nihonga (Japanese-style painting), and oil paintings depicting Onomichi landscapes. Additionally, an Edo-period piece, "Onomichi Ura Byobu" by Inzan Hayashi, is showcased, offering an accurate portrayal of Onomichi's waterways and islands that remain unchanged today, making it a valuable historical artifact.

The exhibition also presents outstanding works by representative Onomichi artists like Kazusaku Kobayashi and Nanjinshi Moriya, providing a glimpse into the artistry of these prominent figures associated with Onomichi.
