ＦＡＱ
Q1. Why “Hoshi to Mori no Uta”? A1. The name “Hoshi to Mori no Uta” comes from the works of three artists whose works have became the core of the museum’s collection: Joichi Hoshi’s woodblock print, “Hoshi no Mori (Forest of the Stars)”; Akitsugu Amata’s sword, “Shichisei-Ken (Sword of the Big Dipper)”; and Hidemasa Fujimaki’s sculpture, “Mori no Uta (Poetry of the Forest)”. We put these together as “Hoshi to Mori no Uta” Museum. (“Hoshi to Mori no Uta” translates to “Poetry of the Stars and Forest” in English.) Ｑ2. Is there a planetarium at the museum? Can I see the stars? A2. Sorry, there is no planetarium. Also, please note that we do not house exhibits related to space, nor do we open at night. Q3. Are Joichi Hoshi’s prints exhibited all year round? A3. This museum does not exhibit the works of Joichi Hoshi as part of a permanent exhibition, so there are times where you cannot see them here.

We decide an exhibit theme, and choose which prints to display at any one time in accordance with this theme. Q5. Can I see Akitsugu Amata’s swords all year round? A5. This museum does not exhibit the works of Akitsugu Amata as part of a permanent exhibition, so there are times where you cannot see them here. Q6. Whose work are the outdoor sculptureｓ?
