A special exhibition taking place at Nagoya's Tokugawa Art Museum looks into the aesthetics of bamboo in Japan. The fast-growing plant has long been revered for its beauty and versatility, as well as being a source of artistic inspiration.

The exhibition will showcase a range of different bamboo-themed pieces, including artworks depicting bamboo alongside items made from it, such as bamboo tea scoops used for traditional tea ceremonies.

Adult admission to the event is priced at 1200 yen.

The Tokugawa Art Museum is located 10 minutes on foot from Ozone Station, served by the JR Chūo Main Line. Alternatively, from Nagoya Station, take the city bus bound for Idakashako from bus stop #10. Get off at the “Tokugawaen Shindeki” stop (approx. 20 minutes) and the museum is three minutes on foot from there.

For those who plan to drive, there is a free parking lot at the museum but it only accommodates 17 vehicles. If the lot is full, the nearby Tokugawaen Municipal Parking Lot is charged at 120 yen per 30 minute increment.
