Hyakunin Isshu History

2017年10月01日(日) - 2026年03月31日(火)

Hyakunin Isshu is an anthology of 100 poems by 100 poets. It was collected here in Saga Arashiyama 800 years ago by Fujiwara no Teika, who carefully selected each of the short waka poems. A permanent exhibition at Saga Arashiyama Museum of Art and Culture conveys the charm, and tells the history, of Hyakunin Isshu.

*The museum is closed during the exhibition changeover period for special exhibitions and is not open for permanent exhibitions only. Please be aware of this in advance.
