Japanese painter ・ Yoshioka Ken's second house を Open

Original Text

This is the place where Japanese painter Kenji Yoshioka (1906 ～ 90) worked hard for creative activities. However, I bought a traditional thatched-roof farmhouse and moved. So, the house has recently become a national registered cultural property. I visited there. It seems that it will open as a "local art garden" centered on the Yoshioka family's residence, and you can also see ateliers and warehouses. There is also a Nagayamon, which has a farmhouse atmosphere. However, the roof was renovated to tiles.
