Gifu Prefecture Governor Yoshihide Ezaki recently visited the 'Ewo Mite Ewo Kaku' exhibition, according to a post shared by the Museum of Fine Arts, Gifu. The museum’s Instagram material says he took part in painting activities connected to the exhibition and that images of the visit were featured on his own Instagram account.
The post places the visit within a broader weekend of summer cultural programming in Gifu Prefecture, linking the exhibition to the 'Summer Waku Waku Project' held at the Gifu Prefectural Museum of Art and the Gifu Prefectural Library. The project was described as an event where visitors could see and create art, combining hands-on activities with seasonal festivities.
Also mentioned in the museum’s account were local summer celebrations including the Gero Summer Festival and the 'Shimi Nari'e' lantern event. The same post says the governor attended the Gero Onsen Summer Festival and a high school alumni gathering that featured student performances, folding the arts visit into a day of community-oriented events.
The museum’s framing gives the 'Ewo Mite Ewo Kaku' exhibition a public-facing role within that seasonal programme, with the governor’s participation highlighting the exhibition’s interactive element. Rather than presenting the show as a passive display, the post emphasizes painting and making as part of the visitor experience.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Gifu, which shares updates through its social channels, identified the exhibition and the weekend programme in a concise news-style post. No additional curatorial details, artist names or exhibition dates were included in the source material, and the post does not specify how long the summer project continues.
The Instagram post was published on August 6, 2026, and remains the source’s only verified reference point for the visit. It records a snapshot of civic and cultural activity in Gifu centered on the museum, the prefectural library and a set of local summer events, with 'Ewo Mite Ewo Kaku' at the heart of the art-related portion of the day.
