    At this comprehensive cultural facility located close to Matsudai Station, visitors can experience Matsudai Snow-Land Agrarian culture and art. In the building, designed by a Dutch architect group, beauty can be felt both indoors and in the outer areas as a single artwork. Inside the hall, you can catch a glimpse the lifestyle of the rural community coexisting with nature as well as an artist space. The satoyama slopes surrounding the museum act as a large field museum, and a number of works by famous artists such as Yayoi Kusama’s “Tsumari in Bloom” are always on display.

    Niigata Tokamachi-shi Matsunoyama Fujikura 192
    "Echigo-tsumari region is about 30-minute drive from Matsudai Station on theHokuhoku Line.Christian Boltanski and Jean Kalman created their large-scale installation ""The Last Class""in 2006and submitted it tothe major tri-annual art festival, the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2018. The site of the festival is the Echigo-tsumari Region (the town of Tsunan in the city of Tokamachi), and the artists put the installation together in an abandoned elementary school to represent the notion of ""the absence of people."" It stimulates the five senses, with sounds like the beating of drums in the darkness and flickering lightbulbs. Recently, a new installation has been added to ""The Last Class"",Boltanski's""Theater of Shadows: Happy Companions"", which represents life and death in a humorous manner. It is open to the public for limited times outside of the Triennale."

    越後妻有「大地の芸術祭」で訪ねた。どうしても見たかったボルタンスキーの作品の一つ。廃校になった旧東川小学校を利用したインスタレーション・アートで、スタートは暗闇の体育館から。床に藁が敷かれ、多数のベンチと扇風機並び、電球が点滅する。薄暗い廊下を進んで二階に上がれば、心臓の鼓動のようにライトが点滅する教室、白い布とアクリルの箱が並べられた教室、鏡を無数貼った教室など、まさに異空間に迷い込んだような不...

    Nigata Pref. Minamiuonumashi Kamiyakushidou 142
    This museum is approximately 20 minutes by bus from the JR Muikamachi Station, and a further three minutes on foot from the Kamiyakushido bus stop. This museum has a permanent collection of the master oil painter, Shiichiro Tomioka's White World Series which consists of around 500 works. He was born in Takada, Joetsu City, and is famous as the man who painted snow country. Tomioka created a white oil paint, known as Tomioka White, which solved all of the problems such as yellowing, cracking and peeling. His distinctive black and white depictions of the world, created with a technique that uses a large painting knife, are highly regarded worldwide as being absolutely unique.

    八海山を見ることが目的で行きました。 公共交通機関利用であれば六日町駅からバスで15分ほど乗車し上薬師堂バス停下車。 徒歩３-４分です。 この美術館前からの八海山の眺望は素晴らしかったです。 美術館に入っていないので展示品に関するコメントはできません。

    Niigata Minamiuonuma Urasa 5493-3
    An art museum born thanks to the efforts of the late Tsuneo Ikeda, a man of culture born here in Uonuma City (once the town of Koide). Ikeda was the founder of Baseball Magazine Sha and KobunSha, and the museum displays works of art and other items he collected as well as a variety of other cultural assets relating to sports, literature, and the arts. The museum’s permanent exhibition is divided into four sections. The KobunSha company published many works by Lafcadio Hearn (Koizumi Yakumo), and in turn the museum has an exhibition dedicated to the author. There’s also a sports and culture exhibition which hosts exhibits on professional baseball, the Olympics, and Japan’s first sports cards; a Japanese art exhibition which displays works by Kiyohara Tama (Eleonora Ragusa), Japan’s first female Western-style painter; and an international art exhibition.

    Niigata Tokamachi-shi Inaba 1099-1
    This art museum was built in 1996 as part of social work conducted by the Maruyama Komusho company. Based on the idea of bringing relaxation and warmth to the city, the museum is surrounded by Japanese beech trees and displays pieces by artists connected to Niigata Prefecture. Literally translating to “Star and Forest Song Museum,” the facility’s distinctive name alludes to the centerpieces of its collection –“Forest of the Stars,” a woodblock print by Joichi Hoshi; Living National Treasure Akitsugu Amata’s “Sword of the Big Dipper,” a Japanese sword; and “Poetry of the Forest,” a sculpture by Nika Association member Hidemasa Fujimaki. Visitors say that being surrounded by the museum’s relaxing atmosphere warms the heart. The museum has no standing exhibition, instead only holding four special exhibitions each year.

    Niigata Tokamachi-shi Bo 913
    This work of art was entered in the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale. One of the world’s largest international art festivals, the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale is held once every three years in Echigo-Tsumari (Tsunan Town and Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture), one of Japan’s snowiest areas. Housed inside of a vacant home in Tokamachi, a city experiencing depopulation and population aging, the piece represents the beginnings of the universe. The home in which the piece is displayed has had its walls removed, leaving the pillars, beams, and other structural components exposed. The figure of a person emerges from a complex matrix in the center of 682 cords attached to the floor, walls, and celling. The piece was created by British artist Antony Gormley.

    Niigata Minamiuonuma Shimo-hitoichi 855
    An art museum adjoining Roadside Station Minamiuonuma Yuki Akari standing in front of the Uono River. The museum displays woodblock prints, paintings, and crafts by renowned artists from across Japan and the world, including Shiko Munakata masterpiece the “Ten Great Disciples of the Buddha.” The museum’s permanent exhibition, titled “The World of Shiko Munakata,” contains more than 40 works of art by the woodblock printmater. Enveloped in the museum’s stillness, visitors can take their time and immerse themselves in the artist’s worldview. The museum also displays South Pacific folk carvings collected by the late Ryuhei Imaizumi, whose efforts led to the building of the facility; it was not customary to preserve the carvings in the areas where they were produced, and as such today they are extremely precious cultural assets.
