Kasama Nichidō Museum of Art’s exhibition '97歳セツの新聞ちぎり絵 原画展' is in its final days, with the show scheduled to close on July 20. The exhibition, which opened in April, presents paper-cutting newsprint art by Setsu, who is 97 years old, and has been on view at the museum in Kasama, Japan.
The museum’s current notice highlights the exhibition as a focused presentation of original works made with the newsprint paper-cutting technique. No further curatorial details were provided in the source material, but the age of the artist and the use of newspaper as the medium place the exhibition in the context of a craft-based practice that has drawn enough attention to warrant a dedicated museum show.
Kasama Nichidō Museum of Art, the institution announcing the closing date, is located in Kasama and operates as part of Japan’s museum landscape with an English-language web presence. The exhibition’s run from April 1 to July 20 gives visitors a three-month viewing period before it concludes later this month.
The museum says weekday visits are recommended during the final stretch to avoid weekend crowds. That guidance suggests the exhibition has been drawing steady public interest as it nears its close, though no attendance figures were given.
As listed in the museum notice, the exhibition title remains '97歳セツの新聞ちぎり絵 原画展', and the works on view are described as original pieces rather than reproductions. The closing date of July 20 is the only deadline provided in the source material, and no extension has been announced.
