The Akita City Cultural Creation Center is a new base for new ideas, for people pursuing artistic expression, and for the people of Akita. It is located in the center of Akita City, near Senshu Park and the ruins of Kubota Castle. The building, finished in 1967, originally housed the Akita Museum of Art. Its unique roof and the round windows were designed to allow sunlight to illuminate the large space, based on artist Tsuguharu Foujita's advice on how best to exhibit his large mural ‘The Events of Akita.’
