This is the first retrospective in 25 years of Naraju Koide (1887 – 1931), one of the leading modern Japanese Western-style painters. After graduating from Tokyo Fine Arts School, Naraju made his debut in the art world with his work “The Family of N” at the Nikaten Exhibition. He continued to pursue oil painting as a Japanese artist until his sudden death at the age of 43, leaving behind numerous masterpieces in still lifes and nudes. He was known as a master of nudes, and was nicknamed “Naraju the Nude.” In particular, in the works he created in the five years after moving to Ashiya in 1926, he elevated the naked bodies of Japanese women to a unique level of beauty through bold deformation and lustrous colors. This exhibition will trace Naraju’s career from his early years to his later years, along with his representative works from each period, and will once again explore the appeal of his oil paintings. It will also introduce his diverse talents in drawings, glass paintings, bookbinding, illustrations, essays, and more.

Awesome experience!! So many aquatic animals plus the great barrier reef was so beautiful 😍. The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan is widely considered one of the best aquariums in the world and a highlight of a visit to Osaka. Visitors often describe it as an exceptional experience due to its massive scale, innovative design, and breathtaking main exhibit. The overall vibe is highly immersive, taking you on a journey through the &quot;Ring of Fire&quot; marine habitats of the Pacific Rim.​The most praised aspect of the aquarium is its architecture and the sheer size of its central tank, which provides a unique and memorable viewing experience.

There weren&#39;t many highlights. It was a reconstruction of an old building, which explains why there were so many modern architectural details. There was a lot of explanatory material, but not many original artifacts; it seems that apart from the foundation, there&#39;s not much from the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era.

The extra stone museum ticket wasn&#39;t really worth it. You just go in, look at the pile of stones from the foundation, and then leave. The Japanese are really something&mdash;they managed to put together an exhibition of such a small amount of material.

I had a lot of fun. I bought the triple pack where you can &quot;dive and walk,&quot; slide, and go to the observation tower.I wanted to do it in that order, but due to the language barrier and not clear directions on where to go I slid first, then observation tower, and I did &quot;dive and walk last.&quot; If you want to dive and walk first then you need to bring your QR code to an office which is about 1 min from the tower. In that office you change into your harness and helmet (and that&#39;s where you bring it back too). I loved the experience and the tower, I just would have liked to have done &quot;dive and walk&quot; first. Regardless, I had fun and recommend it.

Near Tennoji in Osaka, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Osaka&#39;s night scene from 300 meters high. You can see the sunset around 5 pm. Afterwards, go to the garden on the 16th floor of the building. The building is a complex that integrates restaurants and shopping malls and is worth checking out.
