2026 32nd Uchigee Art Oya+

Why You Should Visit

A three-day exhibition by artists connected to Oya in Yabu City — a village known for its art community — now in its 32nd year. The venue, the old farmhouse "Irori" in the Osugi district (a nationally designated preservation district for traditional buildings), fills with woodcarving, calligraphy, painting and Buddhist sculpture. With workshops and food stalls too, it pairs beautifully with a stroll through the historic streetscape of former sericulture houses.
