| Hakone Museum of Art: A Journey Through Seasons |
The Hakone Museum of Art, founded in 1952 by Okada Mokichi, is renowned for its exceptional collection of Japanese ceramics dating from prehistoric times through the Edo period. Housed in a serene setting, the museum boasts a captivating moss garden, a tranquil Japanese landscape garden (Sekirakuen), and a charming teahouse named Shinwatei.
Sekirakuen
A stream flows through a grassy area adorned with uniquely arranged volcanic rocks within the Sekiraku-en garden. This garden offers a distinct ambiance, more open than the moss garden. Panoramic views of Mount Myōjō, Mount Asama, and the Sagami Bay stretch across the horizon.

This was my second visit to the MOA (i.e., Museum of Art). After seeing a photo (above) of the teahouse's window ablaze with autumn colors in April 2024, I decided to return to MOA during the fall season. My visit on November 20, 2024, a sunny day, did not disappoint. The maple trees in the Sekiraku-en Garden were nearing their peak color. The following photos capture the breathtaking autumnal hues I witnessed that day.
