Animals in Contemporary Art: Many Animals!! What? Art?

Not only is Towada known for its long history with horses, it is also home to high wildlife populations in places like Lake Towada and the Hakkoda Mountains, as well as in rural farming communities near the city. Animal motifs also feature prominently in the permanent collection at Towada Art Center. Coexistence between humans and animals is a dominant theme of the city of Towada and its natural surroundings, and this exhibition was designed to engage children through contemporary art using animal figures they know and love.
