Saga Gallery
An art museum where visitors can encounter a variety of
Tosaiga (ceramic painting art) expressing Kazuhisa Kusaba’s thoughts on “life”
This museum, which opened in July 2014 as a venue for exhibiting Tosaiga, is located in the renovated birth home of the artist Kazuhisa Kusaba. It is the only permanent gallery that features Tosaiga. It is based in a private house built more than 100 years ago at the foot of Mt. Kurokami, and it exudes an atmosphere of nostalgia and warmth.
The museum’s spacious exhibition space is lined with special works of art that cannot be seen at solo exhibitions, such as works fresh from the kiln, the artist’s early works, and extremely large works.
Visitors can enjoy the world of Kusaba’s Tosaiga with background music composed by Wong WingTsan, also known as “The Pianist in Meditation.”
