A special event taking place at the Shimonoseki City Art Museum looks at the works of Yamaguchi-born Hokkai Takashima (1850 - 1931), a renowned Japanese landscape artist. A variety of his works will be on display, depicting mountain ranges, flowers, and more, along with other nature-themed pieces from artists like Hiroshi Yoshida, Karl Blossfeldt, Juro Takashima, and Jutaro Kuroda.

The event also serves to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Takashima's passing.

Adult admission to the exhibition is priced at 1000 yen.
