The works to be on display include Kawai Gyokudo's "Parting Spring" depicting cherry blossoms and other masterpieces featuring spring. "Parting Spring" is designated as an Important Cultural Property which can be displayed only once a year. Ceramics and dyed textiles, among other craftworks, will also be exhibited.

Chidorigafuchi Park near the museum is known as one of Japan’s best cherry blossom-viewing spots, visited by more than one million people from all over the world. The museum holds the Spring Festival to coincide with the period when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
