Taro Okamoto (1911-1996) is renowned avant-garde artist who left abstract drawings and sculptures, in addition to many proverbs that express his philosophy – or world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The largest his epoch is definitely “Tower of the Sun”, which is designed for expo 70′ held in 1970 in Osaka. The expo was a symbol of Japanese economic growth, and was an introduction to bright future following Tokyo Olympic in 1964. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum is a building where he lived and worked, and is not so large in scale but the essense of his work is condensed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
