Kyochika's take

An old Edo-style house where philosopher Tetsuro Watsuji lived opens for just four autumn days.

This time, vessels mended with kintsugi and lacquer are shown in the soft light of the old house.

A 30-minute gallery talk daily from 13:00 (first 10 people). You can combine it with the Koji Yakusho exhibition at the Kawakita Film Museum.
