Mini Exhibition | " Early Residential Works of Architect Masako Hayashi "

2025.9.26 (Fri) - 2025.11.11 (Tue)

The Seashell Gallery Multipurpose Room

Free admission

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the reopening of Umi no Gallery.

In the early 2000s, architect Masako Hayashi's husband, Shoji Hayashi, and many other people in the architecture industry from within and outside the prefecture worked hard to preserve her masterpiece.

The Summer Seminar held at Umi Gallery in 2002 (hosted by the Kochi Prefecture Architects Association) became the source of a huge wave of interest. This year, the Summer Seminar will be held again at Umi Gallery.

We will be welcoming architect Koichi Yasuda, who inherited the home of Hayashi Shoji and Masako, to give a lecture on the theme of "Interpreting Modernist Houses: Modern Houses in Tsuchiura, Seike, Shinohara, and Hayashi (Shoji and Masako)."

In conjunction with this, the museum will be holding a mini-exhibition entitled "Early Residential Works of Architect Hayashi Masako."

In addition to the drawings and photo panels exhibited at the "Masako Hayashi Exhibition" (2002-03), as well as valuable materials such as blueprint bound drawings entrusted to us by the Masako Hayashi Archive, a new model has been created and will be on display for two months.

We hope you will be able to get a sense of the origins of Masako Hayashi's architecture in her masterpiece, the Sea Gallery.
