「光と灯り」展覧会アサヒビール大山崎山荘美術館At the Asahi Beer Oyamazaki Villa Museum of Art - oddly but appropriately named as it is the former summer home of a president of the Asahi beer company - there is now a wonderful exhibit. "Light and Illumination" at the Asahi Beer Oyamazaki Villa Museum of Art will be on display until mid-April.
It features works by painters and potters, including Claude Monet, Georges Rouault, and the stunning ceramics of Kanjiro Kawai.
The villa itself is well worth a visit. Both the original structure and a new wing designed by Ando Tadao are great spaces.
For those who want to cycle to Yamazaki, it is 60-90 minutes from Kyoto.
In addition, at the foot of the mountain - just across from the JR Yamazaki train station (15 minutes from Kyoto Station - is the Suntory Yamazaki distillery, which produces world class whiskeys.
