From Hara Museum ARC, Gunma
Some of the superb examples of early modern paintings in the Hara Rokuro Collection, such as Field with the moon and the subject called ‘Musashino’ and Landscape with snowy mountains (Momoyama-Edo period, 16th-17th century) which was a part of paintings used for wallpaper and sliding doors at Nikko-in guest hall in Mi’idera temple, will be on exhibit until November 30. Please do not miss these beautiful paintings.
