Rokkakudo
Rokkakudo is a historic building located on the Gua Coast in Kitaibaraki City, Ibaraki Prefecture. It was designed by Tenshin Okakura in 1903 and constructed in a spectacular location facing the sea. Okakura contributed to the development of modern art while contemplating here, captivated by the beautiful scenery of the Gua Coast. Rokkakudo was damaged in the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, but it was rebuilt in 2012 and is currently managed as the "Ibaraki University Gua Art and Culture Research Institute." Nearby, there is the "Nagayamon," the former residence of Tenshin Okakura, which is recognized as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. This scenic spot allows visitors to experience both the nature of the Gua Coast and Okakura's worldview.
