連結台灣嘉義市與山口縣防府市的一幅畫
《東台灣臨海道路》（1930年）
畫家 陳澄波（1895年～1947年）油畫複製品

這幅畫由台灣嘉義市畫家陳澄波所繪，描繪了台灣東海岸的風景。當時，第11任台灣總督、來自防府市的上山滿之進，在1928年卸任時，特別委託陳澄波創作這幅作品。

後來，1940年，上山滿之進自費建立了三哲文庫，這座圖書館成為如今防府圖書館的前身。在他去世後，家屬依其遺囑，將遺物捐贈圖書館，包括「台灣東海岸風景大額一面」。

隨著時間流逝，這幅畫的下落成謎，直到2015年才在防府圖書館的倉庫中被發現。當時，防府市居民、前龍谷大學教授兒玉識等人正在編寫上山滿之進的傳記，意外找到了這件作品。

這次發現讓陳澄波的畫作重新受到日本關注。他的藝術成就早已在台灣深受喜愛，這幅畫所帶來的驚喜與感動，更加深了嘉義市與防府市之間的友好關係。

A painting that connects Chiayi City, Taiwan and Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture

"East Taiwan Seaside Road" (1930)
Oil painting (reproduction) by painter Chen Chengbo (1895-1947)

This work is a landscape painting of the east coast of Taiwan painted by Chen Chengbo, a representative oil painter of modern Taiwan, who was born in Chiayi City, Taiwan. Kamiyama Mitsunoshin, who was born in Hofu City and served as the 11th Governor-General of Taiwan, commissioned Chen Chengbo to create it when he resigned as Governor-General in 1928.

Later, in 1940, Kamiyama used his personal fortune to establish the Santetsu Bunko, the predecessor of the current Hofu Library. After his death, his relatives donated his books and other belongings to the Santetsu Bunko, and this oil painting was one of them.

The whereabouts of this oil painting had been unknown for many years, but it was discovered in the warehouse of Hofu Library in 2015. The discovery was made by former Ryukoku University professor Kodama Shiki, a resident of Hofu, who was working on editing a biography of Kamiyama Mitsunoshin at the time.
This discovery brought renewed attention to the work of Chen Chengbo, a beloved Taiwanese painter, in Japan. The surprise and joy shared between Chiayi and Hofu has led to a deep friendship between the two cities.
