Masaki SAI's Exhibition "Fukushima- My Hometown"

209th Art Appreciation Series

Masaki SAI’s Exhibition “Fukushima - My Hometown”

October 6th (Tuesday) to 11th (Sunday), 2020 

Koriyama Women's University - Foundation Memorial Hall Gallery 

The above-mentioned exhibition of Masaki Sai's work was originally prepared as an exhibition open to the public at Koriyama Women’s University’s Foundation Memorial Gallery as part of the Koriyama Kaisei Gakuen’s annual Art Appreciation Series. 

However, in order to prevent the spread of the new-corona virus, the exhibition was restricted to members of the Koriyama Kaisei Gakuen community (Koriyama Women’s University; Junior College; High School; Kindergarten). 

Accordingly, the Friends of Masaki Sai and Sai Studio have now organized an Online Exhibition so that the general public may view "Masaki Sai - Fukushima, My Hometown" online.

The Fukushima Story- 59 Flowers of Xanadu

What are the Flowers of Xanadu?

Scenes of beauty you can visit anytime 

Scenes of beauty in which to remain

Where gentle breezes blow 

Where things

Move at a comfortable pace

Where colors blend perfectly 

And there is fragrance in the air

Perhaps these are the Flowers of Xanadu?

There are 59 districts in Fukushima

For 10 years, 20 years, 100 years, 1,000 years, 10,000 years,

We pray these Flowers of Xanadu will continue 

That is

the Fukushima Story
