Yamatane Museum of Art

LoginSave

When Western ideas entered Japan following the Meiji Restoration (1868), many artists set out to master oil and canvas. Others poured new energy into nihonga (Japanese-style painting, typically done with mineral pigments on silk or paper) and that's what is featured here. From the collection of 1800 works, a small number are displayed in thematic exhibitions (some famous works are usually included). Note that the museum is closed between exhibitions.
