Matsuo Bashō, one of the protagonists of the exhibition “Bashō, Buson and Jakuchū”, visited Saga Arashiyama three times in his lifetime. On those visits, he stayed at the hermitage “Rakushisha” of his disciple Mukai Kyorai. In particular, he stayed there for half a month in 1691 and wrote the Saga Nikki (Saga Diary).

To commemorate the exhibition, Rakushisha and the Fukuda Art Museum collaborate and give a special discount for the visitors.
