JAPANGRAPH Exhibition 「MATSURI TRACES＆CONTOURS」

At NOHGA HOTEL, we have long valued our connection with art and culture, creating opportunities for guests to encounter new perspectives and local stories.

This summer, in collaboration with JAPANGRAPH--a visual magazine that explores the landscapes, cultures, and everyday lives found across Japan--we are pleased to present "MATSURI: TRACES & CONTOURS," a photography exhibition focusing on festivals and folk traditions from around the country. 

Exhibition Period
July 15 (Wed) - July 31 (Fri), 2026

Exhibition Overview
MATSURI: TRACES & CONTOURS

Festivals are reflections of a place's landscape, history, prayers, and collective memory.

This exhibition features photographs of festivals and folk traditions documented by JAPANGRAPH throughout Japan.

Beyond the well-known celebrations, the exhibition shines a light on regional rituals and enduring folk practices that continue to shape everyday life, revealing the diversity of Japanese culture and the unique character of each community.

Through these photographs, we invite you to trace the contours of memory and experience the passage of time embedded in each place, embarking on a journey through the many cultural landscapes of Japan.
