Atami Museum of Art - Yoshida Hiroshi, Memories of Landscapes

Last Sunday, I took the train to Atami and visited the Museum of Art. The museum is high on a hill and built into the side of the hill. There is a bus that goes from the train station to the MOA, but I chose to walk.  It took about 30 minutes. 



The museum is tourist friendly and there is English information available.



To get from the entrance to the galleries, you have to go up many long escalators.






After the third escalator is the circular hall with moving projections on the ceiling.





After the fourth escalator, you can go outside to an area called Moore Square.


















After reading this introduction, I thought it sounded familiar, and it was!  I had attended another exhibit on this artist, during the pandemic. (I included some biographical information when I posted about it  here). The following information is from the MOA website:











In addition to the inside art, there is also a Japanese garden and other things to see outside.















There are also several restaurants and shops. Before I walked down the hill, I enjoyed a cup of coffee.  I would like to visit this museum again.

I love the United States series (Grand Canyon, especially) and the Hiroshi pieces too. The architecture of this building is really striking.

Such beautiful art! Yosshida's woodblock prints have a wonderfully soft feel.
