17th Oita Asian Sculpture Exhibition Work
Fumio Asakura, a sculptor from Oita Prefecture, laid the foundation for modern Japanese sculpting and worked to nurture younger generations of artists at the Tokyo Fine Arts School and “Asakurajuku.” We would like to celebrate his achievements, and we are holding a sculpture exhibition that will serve as a gateway to success for emerging Asian sculptors.
The exhibition is co-sponsored by Oita Prefecture, which promotes the region as a creative force through arts and culture, in partnership with Bungo-Ohno City, which aims to build “a city that fosters rich minds and enthusiasm for learning. We hope to spread the region’s culture with the nation and the world. We look forward to receiving many entries.
