“TSUNAGU (Connect)” ― A special exhibition related to “Gifu: Land of Clear Waters” Cultural Festival 2024
Since ancient times, many people, including shogun (warlords), emperors, painters, and literary figures, have visited Gifu and fostered exchanges with the local people. These “connections” have nurtured cultural activities, making Gifu an even more fascinating town. In this exhibition, we introduce the history of Gifu through the records left by these travelers, while also focusing on the interactions between the travelers and the people of Gifu.
