Kagurazaka is coming alive with a variety of activities happening between October 12 and November 3. Its main ‘“Painting on the Hill” event on November 3 is returning this year for the 26th time. The entire 700 metre-long Kagurazaka-dori street will be lined with a long roll of white paper for everyone to draw and paint on for free. Painting tools and equipment will be provided every few metres so you can contribute to this piece of community art. Even if you can’t be here in person, you can participate online by drawing on your smartphone. Your work will then be printed out and pasted onto the paper.
On October 27, visit Zenkokuji Temple for the Kagurazaka Art Square. Local artists will exhibit their work from paintings, calligraphy and illustrations to installations, paper cutouts, photography and prints. Visitors, however, are encouraged to vote for their favourite pieces from 10am to 4pm.
