This rotation includes a model Pipilotti Rist made while planning a new piece. You put your eye to a tiny opening and look, alone, into a space nobody occupies yet. It sits in a section built on Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own, beside Mio Kozo's and Matsukawa Tomona's paintings of women alone in rooms.

This is MoMAK's autumn collection display: nine themes drawn from 17,000 works. Three mark anniversaries: Kojima Yuji, Tsuchida Bakusen and Komaki Gentaro, Kyoto's Surrealist, who quit Ryukoku and Otani and graduated from Ritsumeikan having mostly read philosophy instead of attending class. There is also the Lizzi Rix room, metalwork paired with the jewellery show, Kawai Kanjiro pots and a machine-age room with Picabia.

Bakusen's Punishment hangs until 29 November and his Oharame from 1 December, so pick your half. Admission is 1,000 yen, free for high school students and younger, with no timed booking. Fridays run to 20:00, at 800 yen after 18:00. Closed Mondays, except 23 November and 11 January.

Pipilotti Rist's peephole model
Look through its tiny opening into an empty room, a model Rist made while conceiving a new work, in the Room of One's Own section.
Lizzi Rix-Ueno, Design for Ski Mitten with Embroidery (1935–44)

Tsuchida Bakusen, Oharame (1927)
From 1 December, Bakusen's painting of the women peddlers from Ohara replaces Punishment, the 1908 picture that won him a Bunten prize.
Kawai Kanjiro, Cigarette Case with Shishi Design, Green Glaze (1922)
A green-glazed case with an imaginary lion, made the year after Kawai's first ceramics show at Takashimaya, from a collection whose donor told curators to take as many as they liked.
Kitahara Senroku, Ornament, "Helmet" (1929)
A metal ornament in the shape of a helmet, in the room on metalwork's roots in sword fittings and its modernist groups of the 1920s.
