The exhibition room was open from noon to 7 pm (till 5:30 pm on the 20th). We had a gathering on Nov. 19 (Sat.) at 5 pm &#8211; 7 pm and on Nov. 20 (Sun.) at 4 pm &#8211; 5:30 pm when the public was invited to meet the artists. Free admission.<\/p>\n<p>The theme was &#8220;Home Sweet Hometown.&#8221; Many of us foreigners in Japan have lived here for so long that Japan has become our second hometown. We love our hometowns in Japan so much that we often photograph it. We shall now share some images of our beloved hometown. I showed photos based on the <em>Lake Biwa Rowing Song (Biwako Shuko no Uta). <\/em>I have shown these pictures at various places in Shiga, but this was the first time for me to show them in Kyoto.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Bruce Osborn showed <a href=\"https:\/\/shiga-ken.com\/blog\/2011\/08\/oyako-photo-exhibition-in-maibara-station\/\">Maibara Oyako (Parent-Child) Portraits<\/a>.
