An exhibition of Miyako Somagi, timber carefully nurtured in the mountains of Kyoto, is now on display in our gallery.
Surrounded by the warmth of our historic wooden architecture, we invite you to take a moment to reflect on Kyoto's forests and timber culture.
The work of nurturing forests, making thoughtful use of timber, and passing its value on to future generations echoes our own wish to preserve historic buildings and ryokan culture for years to come.

We hope this exhibition offers an opportunity to discover and appreciate Kyoto's rich timber culture.
