The “MOMAT Collection,” where you always encounter a great work whenever you visit it regularly.
The other day I was moved by Yan Pei-Ming, and this time too I enjoyed a wealth of masterpieces.
It is a lavish collection exhibition — 200 works across 3,000 m² — and right from the outset, Kiyokata Kaburaki’s “Twelve Months of Meiji Customs” is presented in its entirety.
Beyond that, there is a parade of striking, remarkable works.
I want to keep visiting regularly to continue taking it all in.
