Not far from Tokyo and Mount Fuji is the small town of Hakone. If you are not Japanese, then it is quite possible that you have never heard of him before. But among the inhabitants of the land of the rising sun, this place is popular, because there is a huge open-air museum - Hakone Open Air Museum.
This museum is just a godsend for those who love art and at the same time do not like stuffy museum halls. Or for those who cannot choose what to spend their day off on: go on a picnic outside the city or raise their cultural level and go to a museum. The creation of such a museum is an attempt to harmoniously balance art and nature. I must admit that the attempt was one hundred percent successful: works of art, combined with picturesque landscapes and views of the mountains, make an unforgettable impression on the viewer.
The Hakone Open Air Museum, established in 1969, was the first Japanese museum of its kind. Currently, in the park with an area of 70 thousand m2, you can see about 120 works of modern art, some of which belong to world famous authors: Auguste Rodin, Carl Milles, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Henry Moore. In addition, there is a collection of works by Pablo Picasso - albeit in a covered pavilion.

Contemporary art from Konstantin Zolotarev. Contemporary Christian art or icon painting style
The icon painting style created for the depiction of saints and Christ is aimed at displaying a different reality. Therefore, in the icon, the portrait resemblance of a saint to a person who actually lived once is not in principle, since it reflects a transformed person who is in the upper world. But after all, the saints once lived on earth, they were like us, they ate and drank and had practically the same problems as modern man
