Works exhibited at HANAHAKU

In 1990, an international exposition of flowers and greenery (HANAHAKU) took place at the Tsurumi Green Tract in the city of Osaka on the theme of "Creating the affluent 21st Century where the Mankind is in Harmony with Nature," and it got into the great news.
In this exposition, the gallery named "Japanese Paintings－Flowers and Greenery" featured new works on the theme of nature by 50 Japanese-style painters representing the Japanese art society and was also very popular among the visitors.
After the exposition, these works were presented to this Museum and formed the base of its collection. Since then, the Museum has been continuously collecting modern Japanese paintings on the theme of nature, especially flowers and greenery.
