【Ended】Symposium “Historical and Cultural Heritages in Port Town Niigata: Inheriting, Opening and Using”
November 11, 2023
In recent years, as the population has moved away, old houses have been demolished and the calligraphy, paintings and handicrafts preserved there are being lost at an increasing rate. This symposium is being held as part of the “Discover and Experience the Art and Culture of Port Town Niigata Project”, which is discovering such works from Niigata City and exhibiting them at various venues in the city.
