Studio Ghibli arrives at Kobe, Kansai
A great news for all Studio Ghibli fens leaving in Kobe and Kansai region – Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art will host the “Kazuo Oga Exihibition”. Kazuo Oga is the art director of many Studio Ghibli movies as My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Pom Poko and Princess Mononoke (my favorite). Here is a list of all the movies in the creation of which he participated.
As you can see from the poster the exhibition will be opened from December 8th (2009) till February 7th (2010). There will be around 600 pieces of art from the famous Studio Ghibli anime movies.
The access to the museum is very easy – just take JR or Hanshin railways to Nada or Iwaya stations respectively. Than go straight down toward the sea and there is no way you’ll miss the building.
The access information on Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art official website is actually quite comprehensive:

And here is the main webpage of the museum:

Just one more note – the architect of Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art is Tadao Ando – may be the most famous Japanese architect. The building is worth viewing even if you are absolutely not interested in the expositions inside it (I definitely should create a separate post with photos from the museum)!
Chottomatte.net crew is planning a visit to the exposition in a very near future so please stay tuned for first hand impressions from the Studio Ghibli anime art collection :)
