\u25a0\u3000Experience Art Through 3D and Virtual Reality!<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
The 3D video at Koji Kinutani Kuchu Art Museum is amazing. The first exhibit you\u2019ll see is a 3D experience of Kinutani\u2019s work projected onto a 3×14 meter (9×45 foot) round screen. Images of a dragon, the wind kami and the kami of thunder burst forth from the screen while flower petals dance before your fingertips. You\u2019ll be totally immersed in the world created by this art through pictures and moving to a soundtrack.
\nAnd you can take in this exciting 3D experience as many times as you want while you\u2019re in the museum. <\/p>\n
Plus there\u2019s another video experience in the museum, a virtual reality tour of Koji Kinutani\u2019s studio. <\/p>\n
![\"Koji](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kinutani-koji-tenku-art-museum-gw-img02.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Koji Kinutani himself will be your guide. He\u2019s a very well-respected artist who received the Order of Culture in 2021. And what a great idea to take a tour in 360 degree virtual reality. You can tell from the 3D experience mentioned above, but forgive me for stating the obvious\u2014this isn\u2019t just a regular art museum!
\nThe virtual reality tour gives visitors a precious chance to learn from the artist in his Tokyo studio.<\/p>\n
\u25a0\u3000Watching the Sun Set in the Artistic Tenku Cafe <\/h2>\n
There\u2019s also a beautiful cafe inside the art museum called Tenku Cafe.
\nSince the museum itself is located on the 27th floor of Umeda Sky Building, it has an amazing view of Osaka and the distant horizon. If you visit at the end of the day, you\u2019ll be able to see the sun settling down for the evening on the other side of the ocean and the Rokko Mountain Range. The nearby buildings rise up from the ground like sparkling gems in the suns final rays.<\/p>\n
![\"view](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kinutani-koji-tenku-art-museum-gw-img03.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The view from the cafe is amazing. And the cafe name is so fitting because Tenku<\/em>means sky.
\nAlso in the cafe, you\u2019ll be surrounded by Kinutani\u2019s artwork and bottles filled with the 16 colors that stand out in his work. <\/p>\n![\"Koji](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kinutani-koji-tenku-art-museum-gw-img04.jpg\")

<\/p>\n
Red, blue, and yellow are prominent colors in the museum and in the cafe, which serves colorful Italian sodas, wine, coffee, and light meals and sweets.
\nAfter experiencing all of the dynamic artwork, this is a good place to reflect and sit down for a chat. <\/p>\n
\u25a0\u3000Photographs are Allowed in the Tenku Gallery <\/h2>\n
Again, stating the obvious, the artwork in this museum is all Koji Kinutani\u2019s work. <\/p>\n
![\"Koji](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kinutani-koji-tenku-art-museum-gw-img06.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at the Symbol Zone, where photographs are permitted. There are also blue and red exhibition zones in the museum where photography is not allowed. <\/p>\n
![\"Koji](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kinutani-koji-tenku-art-museum-gw-img10.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Much of Kinutani\u2019s work incorporates the concept of funi homon<\/em>, the idea that conflicting concepts are not separate but part of the same whole. The closer you look the more you will notice dichotomies inside the art. \u2028This piece, from the Symbol Zone, is a whopping 3 meters across and it rotates!<\/p>\n![\"Koji](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kinutani-koji-tenku-art-museum-gw-img11.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This is a unique piece, because although much of his work is 3D, it\u2019s special to be able to view the art from all angles. It spins on its own, so when you are taking pictures, you need to wait for just the right angle. <\/p>\n
\u25a0 Children\u2019s Artwork on Display! <\/h2>\n
Koji Kinutani Tenku Art Museum also celebrates the genius of children\u2019s art.
\nIn 2022, the museum received countless submissions for the children\u2019s art contests it held. The spirit of the contest emphasizes teaching children the wonders of art and finding the shining talent among each individual expression of art. The contest aims to develop budding talent and juvenile dreams among artists of the next generation.<\/p>\n
![\"artwork](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kinutani-koji-tenku-art-museum-gw-img07.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This is a piece that was selected for the Koji Kinutani Kids Grand Prix award is titled \u201cEco-friendly Wind Power\u201d by Katsuaki Masui.
\nWhen you visit you may have a chance to see artwork submitted by young artists, as artwork for contests is only displayed for a limited time. If your timing is right, you may get to see artwork from a future star in the art world.<\/p>\n
\u25a0 Try Your Hand at Fresco Painting <\/h2>\n
And there’s one more thing I’d like to share about this museum\u2014the fresco-painting experience.<\/p>\n
![\"Koji](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kinutani-koji-tenku-art-museum-gw-img08.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
When you plan your visit to the museum, you have the option of joining a 2-hour fresco painting experience. The experience includes a lecture and instructions from the museum curator and of course you get to take your art home with you!
\nThe fresco painting workshop isn\u2019t only for kids. Adults are welcome to try fresco painting too. If you\u2019re inspired by Kinutani\u2019s work, this is a great way to bring that inspiration to life!<\/p>\n
