avi / Audible Museum × Kita Area

Since I was born in Osaka, I have a lot of memories of the Kita area. I am delighted to have the opportunity to participate in an art project to add color to this very important area for me.
I collected information about artworks from around Japan, from which I have carefully selected works that would be memorable for the audience, making them think, “I’m happy to be able to encounter this work.” The works range widely, from uplifting ones featuring vibrant colors to others that calm your heart like a gentle light. You will therefore be able to encounter artworks that gladden your heart. Visit the event to search for your favorite with great excitement!

A slight extension of your journey from this area will take you to Temma, where traditional shopping streets still remain. The streets are lined with unique restaurants, bars, etc., so you can enjoy restaurant or bar hopping, as well as simply strolling around.
