Why You Should Visit
Cut, fold, glue — animals made from nothing but paper fill this exhibition by Miho Akiyama, a paper artist based in Hyogo. Fur and feathers are rendered purely through the color and shape of the paper, and the closer you get, the more you see the hand behind them. A free cardboard maze for children in 6th grade and under runs daily. Admission is free for high school students and under, which makes it an easy rainy-day stop with kids.
