Obuse, “the town of chestnuts, Hokusai, and flowers.” Approximately 1 million people visit this town of 10,000 people annually. Many people are familiar with the chestnut sweets made from chestnuts, which have been a specialty of Obuse since the Edo period, and the works of Katsushika Hokusai, an ukiyo-e artist who lived in Obuse during the Edo period and left behind many outstanding works, mainly hand-drawn paintings. I am visiting for this purpose. In addition to this, Obuse is also rich in unique agricultural products such as fruits such as the processing apple "Bramley" and traditional vegetables such as Obuse Maru eggplant.Also, in terms of art, Obuse's wealthy farmers and merchants, who were patrons of Hokusai, In addition to Kozan Takai's works, there are many artists who currently live and work in Obuse, and there are many charms that are still overlooked. We will communicate these attractions and provide information that will make you want to come to Obuse again and again.
