Discover art from around the world at Nobunaga's temple
Jogon-in Temple is a place that continues the spirit of Oda Nobunaga, who turned his eyes to the world. At the Jogon-in Temple International Art Festival, held in this special place, artists from Japan and abroad will bring new expressions to life through their works. We hope that this will not only be a place to enjoy the exhibitions, but also a place where artists and visitors can interact with each other and create culture. Please feel free to visit and enjoy the unique experience of this art festival.
