”Man’yō-shū,” which means “A Collection of Myriad Leaves,” is Japan’s earliest existing anthology of poetry and contains approximately 4,500 pieces composed by people from different parts of the country.
Among the places mentioned, it is those in Nara which are referred to most frequently in the Man’yō-shū poems, and still today, Nara Prefecture is dotted with historic sites and beautiful natural landscapes that are related to the Man’yō-shū. Nara may well be called the “home of Man’yō.”
The Nara Prefecture Complex of Man’yō Culture was established in Asuka Village in Nara in September 2001 as a comprehensive cultural institute for ancient culture emphasizing Man’yō-shū. It is indeed a suitable facility for Nara.
The excavation conducted before the construction of this facility unearthed an ancient factory site, Asukaike Ruins, which was later designated as a Historic Site by the national government. The facility coexists with these ruins, and we are trying to use them creatively while carefully preserving them, for example, by displaying the reconstructed site. We hope to contribute to the development of the local community while inviting people to travel back 1,300 years to the world of Man’yō.

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.’

Art Island Center is an art and research center, a gallery, and a bookshop.
The Center was established in 2019 on Naoshima, an island in western Japan, which is known as “the art island” because of its art museums and its central position in the Setouchi Triennale art festival.
Art Island Center's projects, programs, and exhibitions explore the identity and resilience of the islands of the Setouchi region, while using Naoshima's status as an international destination to facilitate conversations about globally significant topics.
Our shop carries art books, children's books, stationery and art supplies, select gifts, and other merchandise. We stock both domestic products and imported goods from Europe and the USA. Our main gallery showcases work by artists and researchers from around the world. Our "Engawa Gallery" exhibits work by local/regional artists and craftspeople.

The Aomori Contemporary Art Centre (ACAC) is a contemporary art institution nestled in a dynamic natural environment on the foothills of the Hakkoda Mountains. Its distinctive architecture is well-suited to the center’s three creative pillars of artist-in-residence (AIR) programs, exhibitions, and education/learning programs. Established as a project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Aomori City, the ACAC opened its doors in December 2001 and is currently run by Aomori Public University.

The ACAC is committed to fully supporting creative pursuits regardless of the artist-in-residence, whether by nomination, open call, or paid residency. Our aim as an institution is to further communicate excellence in contemporary art, construct international networks through these connections, and provide new encounters and learning opportunities between artists and residents and students in the local community. From spring to autumn, you can appreciate more than 20 outdoor sculptures on premises as you enjoy a walk through the ACAC’s lush forest.
