Hara Museum ARC

Indulge yourself in the spirit of these pictures by tracing the fine details in the facial expressions and lines. Wrestlers battling against each other, a sigh of grief, a figure singing–these images and feelings depicted with many kinds of lines of diverse qualities, convey something that transcends words. We invite you to “listen” to the stories expressed through form and the various techniques of the painter.
