Heavy rains in Chiba Prefecture on August 13-14 caused flooding at Hokyo Museum of Art in Kashiwa City, leading to its temporary closure for visitor safety and facility recovery. The museum, Japan's first realistic painting specialty institution since 2011, was hosting the exhibition "Four Seasons in Realistic Paintings" (until November 8). It previously suffered similar damage in October 2019, reopening in August 2020 after infrastructure upgrades including elevated electrical systems and retaining walls. The current closure prioritizes safety and restoration efforts.
