About this event

This event celebrates the 100th anniversary milestone of the beloved "Great Ginkgo of Arita" being designated as a National Natural Monument. During the Ceramic Art Festival, a commemorative stage event will be held next to the Great Ginkgo. The program features a wide variety of activities, including a commemorative ceremony and "Gather, Kimono Models!", which recruits models for visuals such as the poster for the 2027 23rd Autumn Arita Ceramic Art Festival. Exhibition projects will also be held, such as the "Arita Ginkgo Historic Photo Panel Exhibition" and the "Panel Exhibition Introducing 20 Nationally Designated Natural Monuments Across Japan." In addition, the Izumiyama Historic Site Tour guided by an Arita Town curator will take place, allowing participants to experience local history and culture. Wearing traditional Japanese attire such as kimono is recommended on the day.
