The Kubosō Memorial Museum of Arts in Izumi is marking a 70th-anniversary milestone with an exhibition stamp rally tied to four exhibitions in fiscal 2026. In a post announcing the campaign, the museum said the stamp rally is currently underway and asked visitors whether they have been participating in the route that links the year’s exhibition program.
Rather than centering the campaign on a single show, the museum has organized it around four exhibitions planned for fiscal 2026. The announcement frames the rally as a way to move audiences through the museum’s annual schedule while collecting stamps from each stop. The post does not give the exhibition titles or dates, but it does make clear that the activity is designed as a multi-exhibition visitor program rather than a standalone event.
For the second stamp in the series, the museum revealed a design featuring Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s 'Woman with Flower Bouquet'. The image selection points to the museum’s use of a well-known work by the French Impressionist artist as part of the campaign branding, connecting the stamp rally to a recognizable figure in the art historical canon.
The museum’s announcement is brief, but it places the stamp rally within a commemorative framework tied to the city’s 70th anniversary. The post describes the initiative as a anniversary project and highlights it in celebratory language, underscoring the museum’s role in drawing attention to its exhibition program through a participatory format.
Kubosō Memorial Museum of Arts is based in Izumi, Japan. Its public message on social media indicates that the rally is already in progress and that the second stamp design has now been shared with visitors. No further details were provided in the post about prizes, completion requirements, or the number of stamps in the full set, and the museum did not list the participating exhibitions by name.
The announcement leaves the focus on the campaign’s structure and on the Renoir image chosen for the second stamp. With four exhibitions included in the 2026 program, the museum is using the rally to connect visitors to its schedule through a simple collecting format built around a single artist image and a city anniversary marker.
