Over 260 Japanese National Treasures Featured at Special Exhibitions in Osaka, Nara, Kyoto Held to Coincide with Expo 2025
OSAKA — With the occasion of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, art galleries and museums throughout the Kansai region held special exhibitions, displaying Japan's finest pieces and putting new spins on them, with three museums in Osaka, Nara and Kyoto recently exhibiting national treasures. More than 260 national treasures, or about 30% of all the national treasures in the country excluding structures, were displayed, providing a rare opportunity to view a large number of masterpieces. 135 national treasures in OsakaThe largest number of national treasures — 135 items — were displayed at the National Treasures of Japan exhibition at the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts. The exhibition featured treasures that are representative of Japanese art history and mentioned in school textbooks, such as 'Deep Vessel with Flame-Style Pottery' from the Jomon period, which was excavated in Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture, and the seated Ganjin Wajo statue, a masterpiece sculpture of the highly ranked monk owned by Toshodaiji temple in Nara. The paintings of birds and flowers on fusuma room partitions by Kano Eitoku, a painter of the Azuchi-Momoyama period (late 16th century), were ink wash paintings and part of a series of paintings at Jukoin temple in Kyoto. Eitoku used ink lines of varying sizes to depict a huge old plum tree twisting and turning, creating a spring scene full of life on the four fusuma partitions displayed at the museum. A variety of treasures, including writings and swords, were exhibited with national treasures that have been repaired with financial assistance from the Tsumugu Project, a joint undertaking by the Cultural Affairs Agency, Imperial Household Agency and The Yomiuri Shimbun. They included 'Bound Fan Papers with the 'Lotus Sutra'' from Shitennoji temple in Osaka, which depicts the lives of nobles and commoners and is a copy of the Lotus Sutra, and the 'Fugen Bosatsu (Samantabhadra)' owned by the Tokyo National Museum, a work considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Buddhist painting. The Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts reopened in March after undergoing a major renovation, in which work was done to lower the display stands and reduce reflections on the glass cases. 'We have taken great care to make the works easier to view,' said museum director Sakae Naito. The exhibition didn't have a specific theme; instead, it was meant to provide visitors with an opportunity to enjoy the richness of Japanese art more freely in a better environment. Eitoku's masterpiece 'Chinese Lions,' which is owned by the Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan, and the dogu figurine known as 'Jomon Venus' excavated in Chino, Nagano Prefecture, were displayed. Ogata Korin's masterpiece 'Irises' of the Nezu Museum in Tokyo was also exhibited. Nara exhibition on Buddhist, Shinto art The Nara National Museum in Nara, which specializes in Buddhist art, held an exhibition titled 'Oh! Kokuho: Resplendent Treasures of Devotion and Heritage,' focusing on Buddhist and Shinto art. The exhibition, held to celebrate the museum's 130th anniversary, featured about 140 artworks, including 112 national treasures. Exhibits included 'Standing Kannon Bosatsu (Sk. Avalokitesvara; also known as Kudara Kannon)' from Horyuji temple in Nara Prefecture, which was created during the Asuka period (592-710) and is one of Japan's earliest wooden sculptures, and 'Seated Dainichi Nyorai' by Unkei, which is owned by Enjoji temple in Nara. Buddhist statues mainly from the Kansai region and those as far as from Tokyo and Hiroshima Prefecture were also displayed. The dignified expression and posture of the finely sculpted 'Seated Bosatsu with One Leg Pendant' from Hobodai-in Gantokuji temple in Kyoto created a tense atmosphere. The exhibition also displayed 'Seven-Pronged Sword' of Isonokami Jingu shrine in Nara Prefecture, an iron sword from the Kofun period with six branch blades, as well as Buddhist paintings and sumi ink writings, allowing visitors to trace how different religions gained acceptance by people and how they have changed. 'Seated Bodhisattva with One Leg Pendant' from Chuguji temple in Nara Prefecture and other artworks were also exhibited. The Yomiuri Shimbun'Standing Kannon Bosatsu (Sk. Avalokiteshvara; also known as Kudara Kannon),' owned by Horyuji temple in Nara Prefecture, exhibited at the Nara National Museum in NaraThe Yomiuri Shimbun'Seated Bosatsu with One Leg Pendant,' owned by Hobodai-in Gantokuji temple in Kyoto, exhibited at the Nara National Museum in NaraKyoto exhibition on cultural exchange The Kyoto National Museum's special exhibition 'Japan, an Artistic Melting Pot' shed light on cross-cultural exchanges and Japanese art. The exhibition traced this history with about 200 artworks, including 19 national treasures and 53 important cultural properties. Among them was 'Wind God and Thunder God Screens' by Tawaraya Sotatsu, a national treasure owned by Kenninji temple in Kyoto. World expositions can be viewed as an example of cross-cultural exchange. The Meiji government compiled the first Western-style history of Japanese art, consisting of works it wanted to show to the world, to coincide with Japan's participation in the Expo 1900 Paris. This exhibition displayed some of the works listed in the book, including the dotaku bell-shaped bronze, an important cultural property that was excavated in Yasu, Shiga Prefecture. Exhibits also included the ukiyo-e woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai 'Under the Wave off Kanagawa' from the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji,' which is also popular in the West, as well as Buddhist statues, landscape drawings, paintings of flowers and birds, which indicate Japan's exchanges with East Asia, and ceramics.

All-senior maid cafe in Japan's Gunma Pref. serves smiles, new connections
KIRYU, Gunma -- Last July, two seniors began working as "maids" in frilly white aprons at the new "Meido Cafe Shangri-La" in this eastern Japan city. The goal was to create a community space where seniors could relax. A year later, there are now over 10 maids aged 65 and up, the customer base has diversified and the maid cafe plans to host matchmaking events for older adults. When this reporter visited on June 7, 10 maids gathered in a circle for their morning pep talk just before the 8 a.m. opening, energetically calling out in unison, "Let's be lively, cheerful and beautiful again today!" to kick off their workday. Leading the chant was Nene, 72, who joined the cafe last December. She applied for the maid role desiring to "try something extraordinary." Having been a full-time homemaker after marriage and with no previous customer service experience, she has grown to enjoy interacting with a wide range of patrons over the past six months. Her son even complimented her by saying her complexion has improved. Also in the group was Popo, 75, who was making her debut as a maid that day. After visiting the cafe three times as a customer, she had decided, "I want to become a maid, too," and auditioned in May. Smiling in her long-awaited maid outfit, Popo said, "I'm still fumbling to keep up with the more experienced maids." Meido Cafe Shangri-La (featuring a pun on "maid" with the Japanese term "meido" meaning underworld or afterlife) in Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture, is run by the nonprofit organization Kids Valley, headed by Asami Hoshino. It garnered attention for its playful services, such as recreating Buddhist concepts like Sanzu River -- a mythological river that separates the living world from the afterlife -- inside the cafe and labeling the restroom after the "Land of Bliss." Initially open for only two hours from 8 a.m. on the first Saturday of each month, the cafe quickly drew long lines of people, and is now open for four hours. Original cafe members Deco, 67, and Coco, 66, remain on board. In April, the cafe began selling acrylic keychains featuring the two women at 1,000 yen (about $7), tax included. On this day, Deco's 87-year-old mother served as the instructor for an origami class. Deco's eldest daughter, 41, also came to help, bringing three generations of the family together in one space. The latter remarked, "My mother really enjoys working as a maid." Previous cafe events have included distinctive gatherings through collaborations with funeral supply companies, including a "coffin experience fair" where participants had an opportunity to lie in a coffin. The cafe is currently planning to host senior dating events where the cafe maids will serve as matchmakers. Customers streamed in throughout the four-hour business period. One regular customer, affectionately dubbed "Kacchan" by the maids, is a 62-year-old truck driver from the prefectural capital Maebashi, who has visited monthly since last October. "On days after night shifts, chatting with the maids is fun and completely relieves my fatigue," he said. Some visitors have apparently even become friends, exchanging contact information and creating new friendships through the cafe. A 21-year-old in the fourth year of studies at Tokyo Keizai University, who is originally from Kiryu, also visited for the first time that day after hearing the cafe had brought new energy to her hometown. "I came by myself, but the maids warmly gathered around me, and I was surprised by their liveliness," she said. She plans to return regularly and include the maid cafe in her graduation thesis on Kiryu's community cafes. (Japanese original by Kazuhiko Toyama, Kiryu Local Bureau)

Remote Japan island, population 11, aims to become global manga hub
KAMIJIMA, Japan (Kyodo) -- Visitors to Takaikamishima, in western Japan, are welcomed by a colorful cast of characters from Japanese manga which far outnumber the island's 11 residents where a revitalization project is underway. Over thirty murals depicting characters from manga decorate buildings fronting the harbor of Takaikamishima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea in Ehime Prefecture. The murals are the face of an initiative aimed at keeping the 1.34-square-kilometer island on the map by turning it into a hub of manga culture. On April 27, the island's quiet was broken by a parade of around 20 students from elementary and junior high schools in the town of Kamijima, of which Takaikamishima is a part. The students arrived on the first ferry of the day, trailed by dignitaries and reporters, for the opening of the Takaikamishima Manga School. Long-time island visitor Osamu Hasebe, 76, leads the manga-themed initiative. The opening of the school marked another step towards Takaikamishima becoming what Hasebe hopes will be a center for manga known around the world. "If students from here go on to become professional artists, I think this will become a kind of sacred place for manga," Hasebe said during the school's opening ceremony. Hasebe invited established manga artists to teach special classes on the opening day. Students were taken through techniques of character drawing by teachers including Shinbo Nomura, creator of the manga "Tsurupika Hagemaru." Naruto Maegami, a first-year junior high school student, joined the classes from the island of Iwagijima. "It was fun. The teacher's explanation was easy to understand," he said. Housed in Takaikamishima's renovated former elementary and junior high school, which closed in 2023, the manga school has three classrooms and a manga reference room. In March, the school began accepting student applications for a series of weekend classes, scheduled for early summer, teaching the basics of manga. Takaikamishima Manga School was over eight years in the making for Hasebe and his long-time friend Sadamu Kimura. Kimura, 74, grew up on the island and returned to settle there around 20 years ago. Hearing the lively voices of the children and the school chime ring, Kimura said with tears in his eyes, "I recall the days where kids were here. I'm so happy." In the 1950s, Takaikamishima, officially called Takaikamijima, had a population of around 300. Around 70 families made a living on the island through fishing and agriculture, according to the notes made by Kimura on a website introducing the island under the manga initiative. In 2007, when Hasebe was invited by Kimura to visit the island, he fell in love with it. The population at the time was just 51. The pair tried to revitalize the island by holding events, but the number of visitors they attracted was fleeting. They wondered what they could do to keep attracting people to the island. In a bid to stop Takaikamishima from becoming uninhabited and attract visitors, the pair started the manga initiative in 2016 with a mural inspired by the manga "Dr. Koto's Clinic," painted on the wall of the island's community center. Hasebe sought the cooperation of the manga's creator Takatoshi Yamada for the project, an acquaintance of his. Starting with the completion of the first mural about 10 years ago, Yamada introduced him to other artists. As the murals increased, so did the number of visitors. To accommodate the increase in visitors, Hasebe opened the "minshuku" lodging facility Nataore no Ki in 2017, converting an abandoned home. In October last year, Hasebe jointly opened the island's only cafe, Manga Tei, with Masanori Baba, 50, who had been a company employee in Aichi Prefecture, central Japan. According to a 2023 count by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, there are 14,125 islands in Japan. Baba chose Takaikamishima to move to with his family. The island's first new residents in 15 years relocated in April 2024 -- Baba, his wife, and their two young daughters. In search of a lifestyle change, Baba answered a call from the island looking for people willing to relocate and help with revitalization efforts. Along with running the minshuku and cafe with his wife, Baba is involved in a myriad of activities, including heading the island's neighborhood association and, reluctantly, the volunteer fire brigade. Baba, who says the news of his family's arrival spread well before they moved, has already decided that he does not want to leave the island. "After experiencing the lifestyle here, I don't think it's possible for me to return to city life," he said. He hopes to see Takaikamishima's population triple in his lifetime. For that to happen though, the island needs an economy. He hopes that the manga school, minshuku and cafe will bring students and tourists to the island and with them, opportunities. "I'd be happy if people who are interested in the island came up with ideas about what they would like to do here. I hope we are overwhelmed with people who want to relocate here," Baba said. Takaikamishima is one of 256 so-called remote islands, where living conditions are harsh and populations are in decline, which Japan has targeted for support in infrastructure and revitalization under the Remote Island Development Act. Despite a combined population of around 340,000, less than 0.3 percent of the population of Japan, the islands play a key role in maintaining the country's territorial waters and strategic economic zones, according to the land ministry. Takaikamishima became part of the town of Kamijima in 2004. Kamijima Mayor Toshiyuki Uemura welcomes the approach taken by Hasebe and Kimura to overcome the island's challenges. "It's hard for people who live on islands to come up with ways to develop the community," he said. "That they decided to implement this manga project is a wonderful development that we never would have thought of." Lessons by professional manga artists for 10 students of various ages started in earnest in May. The school plans to hold more classes down the road and an intensive course this summer. "I look forward to the day when people from all over the world will visit here," Hasebe said. (By Tom Shuttleworth)
