Chrysanthemum Figure is one of the Japanese traditional arts. The Exhibitions have been held at various places in Japan. Hirakata Park is one of those places. The first Chrysanthemum Figure Exhibition at Hirakata Park was held in 1910. Keihan Railway held the Exhibition every autumn until 2005. Because workmen of making figures are getting too old and they have few successors, they can not continue the Exhibition. This year, 2010, Keihan Railway holds the Exhibition after an interval of 5 years. The theme of the Exhibition is 龍馬伝 Legend of Ryoma. 龍馬 Ryoma is a hero in the last days of the Tokugawa shogunate 18th century. He is one of the most popular historical persons in Japan.
