Why You Should Visit
An exhibition set in the display cases of all 10 stations on the Kobe Municipal Subway Kaigan Line. This round's theme is "scenes": ten artists each take one station, from Sannomiya-Hanadokeimae to Shin-Nagata. The work ranges from paintings to a sculpture meant to be viewed from all 360 degrees, textiles printed on lace curtain, and oil paintings of cracks in asphalt. Viewing is free, and a QR code beside each piece links to a page where it can be bought. Hopping off station by station, you also watch the line shift from the downtown core of Sannomiya to the old neighborhoods of Nagata.
