Kasama Nichidō Museum of Art is presenting a first-floor exhibition of fish paintings by Dr. Sakanakun, according to the museum’s announcement. The display brings together a wide range of fish images and includes the work 'Osakana Shiritori', which the museum says is especially popular with visitors.

The museum describes the presentation as one built around variety rather than a single focal image. With many fish represented, visitors are invited to look for their own favorites among the paintings. The announcement does not specify the number of works on view, but it emphasizes the breadth of the fish subject matter across the exhibition.

Dr. Sakanakun’s fish art is the central subject of the installation, and the museum’s note singles out 'Osakana Shiritori' as a particularly well-liked piece. The title suggests a playful approach to the fish theme, though the source material does not provide further details about the work’s medium, date, or series context.

The museum also adds a personal note from its curatorial side, naming Jimnarcus as the curator’s favorite. No further explanation is given in the announcement, but the mention points to the range of visual or thematic approaches represented in the display.

Kasama Nichidō Museum of Art is located in Kasama, Japan. In this case, the museum’s announcement is focused on the exhibition content itself rather than on a larger program of related events, and no opening or closing dates were provided in the source material.

The first-floor presentation remains centered on fish painting as a subject, with the museum inviting visitors to explore the assortment and identify the works that stand out to them, from 'Osakana Shiritori' to Jimnarcus.
