From today to August 8th, there is a photo exhibition by Mugishima Masaru ( 麦島勝 ) at Kumamoto City Handicrafts Promotion Center ( 熊本市くまもと工芸会館 ) in Kawashiri, Minami-ku, Kumamoto City.
In this exhibition, we can see photos taken in all around Kumamoto mostly in the mid-20th century when Japan was experiencing high economic growth so cities are lively but people in rural areas were still following the traditional way of life.
The entrance fee is free. There are some nice wagashi shops in Kawashiri so I hope you will enjoy exploring the area and visit the handicraft centre to see Mugishima’s photos. Have a lovely weekend!
