Hokkaido Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art

About

The Hokkaido Prefectural Museum of Modern Art is a place that holds both the artistic spirit of the imperial era and the lingering sensibility of contemporary Japanese artists. The moment you take in the abstract allure of Pa Skin, it feels as though the landscape of Hokkaido opens its eyes within the painting. Walking along the wall where paintings and landscape intersect, before long the wind and light of Hokkaido seem to brush past your feet. The museum is not merely an exhibition space but a ground where art has cast a shadow across time. The sentiments of major works scattered across the Kushiro Art Museum and the Hakodate Museum of Art gather and blend here, evoking a tranquil spring afternoon. Here, visitors can savor a stillness in which art and nature seem to breathe together.
