This special exhibition introduces the world of Koume Kawai, a female writer born in the castle town of Wakayama and recognized as one of the city's distinguished historical figures. The exhibition features paintings created by Koume Kawai and diaries she left behind, providing an overview of the lifestyle and social conditions she observed during the late Edo and Meiji Restoration periods, as well as the culture of the castle town of Wakayama. This is a valuable opportunity to gain a deep understanding of people's lives at the time and the transition of the era through Koume's perspective.
