The Hirano Masakichi Museum of Fine Art in Akita exhibits one of the world's largest collections of paintings by Leonard Foujita (1886-1968), arguably Japan's most famous Western style painter, who spent a considerable time of his life in France and eventually acquired the French citizenship. Most prominent among the collection's 101 pieces is the twenty meter long painting "Annual Events in Akita", which illustrates Akita life in the four seasons. Selected pieces from the collection are shown in rotating exhibitions, while the "Annual Events in Akita" remains on permanent display. Besides the works by Foujita, the museum shows other pieces from the collection of Hirano Masakichi, an Akita born art lover who passed away in 1989. Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.
