A drawing begins with a line. There are many types of lines, such as curved, straight, dotted, and wavy lines. And the expression of the line will change depending on the material used for drawing. Pencils or pens can draw thin and sharp lines, while charcoal or chalk can draw thick and soft lines. In traditional Japanese painting, lines are regarded as an important element that expresses the artist's personality. 
Line drawing is a sketch of a finished work that aims to clearly outline the form of an object. In the world of lines, by dividing and depicting various existences in the world, each object is fixed in the field of meaning. In this process, the abstract concept of contour lines that do not exist in reality becomes the basis of painting. On the other hand, after entering the modern era, the expression of lines has been given independent value. In abstract paintings born after the 20th century, the plasticity of lines has begun to attract attention. Painters began to pursue new line creations, which made lines begin to show unprecedented diversity and expressiveness. Therefore, while being the origin of painting, lines have also begun to become an ancient and novel theme. This exhibition will select about 150 works from the collection, mainly prints and drawings, supplemented by paintings, sculptures and photography, to show the diversity of line expression in modern art. This exhibition will provide an interesting place for the audience to explore the visual role of lines that are not often paid attention to in daily life.

It was built in the late 16th century by Toyoson Xiuji, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and was originally large in scale, with strong city walls and spectacular castle buildings, highlighting the strength and majesty of the Toyoson regime. The main building of the castle is unique in style, the white walls are particularly dazzling in the sun, and the roof tiles are exquisitely arranged. The Tianshou Pavilion in the city is the core, which is not only a military defense fortress, but also a symbol of power.

It is worth going. There are many blind boxes and souvenirs. Some suggestions are recommended to buy it on the top. I have seen the same model that is much cheaper. Of course, I don&#39;t care if I can omit it. Going out in the afternoon, you can watch the sunset or take a sightseeing boat.

Shinsaibashi, a must-go to Osaka, is one of Osaka&#39;s landmark blocks. It is located in the center of Osaka. The nearby subway 🚇 is very convenient. Even if you play late, you don&#39;t have to worry about not going back. Osaka&#39;s subway 🚇 can be very late. Shinsaibashi neighborhood has a famous food, a Lan Ramen, and friends who like Japanese ramen can go and taste the deliciousness of his home once.

It is a very long-standing shopping street and is a great place to explore the culture of the people in Osaka, Japan. The small shops on both sides are full of nostalgia, a wide range of goods, a variety of specialty shops, and a very exaggerated signboard, which can take many good photos. It is also a concentration of fried skewers, and you can feel the locals&#39; eating and gathering habits.
