    2階の展示室から見る向かいの町家は一幅の絵のよう。2階奥の和室は茶室のよう。 知らない人の個展にふらりと入っていくのは少々勇気がいるが、2階の椅子に座って一休みさせていただくと、展示されている絵が見やすく「たまには画廊もいいな」と思える。

Kyoto Areas

around-area-map

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
