In Hirosaki, Aomori, I visited the “Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art,” known for its collection of works by artist Yoshitomo Nara, for the first time in 20 years. I took the Konan Railway Owani Line (nicknamed the “Apple Orchard Railway”) to the museum because I had learned that the town where Yoshitomo Nara was born and raised is located along this line. I feel like my understanding of his work has deepened a little. [Japanese] 青森・弘前では、アーティスト、奈良美智さんのコレクションでも知られる「弘前れんが倉庫美術館」を20年ぶりに訪れました。美術館へは、奈良さんが生まれ育った街が弘南鉄道大鰐線(ニックネームはりんご畑鉄道)沿いにあると知り、少し遠回りをしてこの列車に乗って向かいました。奈良さんの作品への理解が少し深まったような気がしています。
