Kengo Kuma is a renowned Japanese architect who has a broad portfolio of impressive designs, including the likes of Tokyo's Nezu Museum, Sunny Hills Aoyama, and the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center to name just a few. A special exhibition taking place at the Kochi Museum of Art looks at Kuma's designs from a unique perspective - a feline point of view. Concepts like holes, softness, and time are just some of the cat-like approaches that Kuma thinks of when approaching a new architectural piece.
The exhibition will look at 30 of Kuma's architectural works, with explanations of his thought-processes while creating them.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 1300 yen.
The Kochi Museum of Art is located approximately 20 minutes by taxi from the JR Kochi station, served by the Dosan Line.
For those who plan to drive to the museum, the venue is around 15 minutes drive from the Nankoku IC or 10 minutes drive from the Kochi IC on the Kochi Expressway. Free parking is available on-site for up to 144 vehicles.

I'm an expat who has lived abroad for almost a decade, including 7 years in Japan. I've also visited 44 of 47 prefectures and hope to get to the last three someday! I'm particularly fond of exploring off the beaten path destinations, gardens, and tea houses, and have a real interest in Japan's growing vegan scene.
Will the exhibition travel? Here, kitty!
