The centerpiece of the exhibition is the large folding screen painting "Koharu" (Little Spring), owned by the university's Goura Art and Culture Research Institute. Kimurabuzan was highly praised by Shimomura Kansan as the "number one person in coloring."

This event serves as the finale for the 70th-anniversary project of the Goura Art and Culture Research Institute, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of Kimurabuzan's birth, which is also being celebrated with a separate exhibition at the Ibaraki Prefectural Tenshin Memorial Goura Museum of Art.
