Kagurazaka is coming alive with a variety of activities happening between October 15 and November 3. Its main ‘“Painting on the Hill” event on November 3 is returning for the first time since the pandemic. 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. There will be painting tools and equipment provided every few metres for you to 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 30, 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.
