Ōta Memorial Museum of Art, Japanese woodblock print museum in Jingūmae, Japan
The Ōta Memorial Museum of Art is an art museum in Jingūmae that displays monthly rotating exhibitions of traditional Ukiyo-e prints. The institution holds a collection of around 14,000 artworks that are presented in regular rotation.
Seizo Ota established this institution to share his private collection of Japanese prints with the public, and the museum opened in 1980. The collection is based on decades of personal passion for this traditional art form.
The museum displays works by masters like Katsushika Hokusai in thematic exhibitions that reflect different aspects of Japanese society during the Edo period. Visitors can see how artists depicted everyday life, fashion, and theater in their prints.
The museum accepts cash payments only and operates from 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM, closed on Mondays. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the exhibition at a relaxed pace.
The museum displays between 70 and 100 works from its permanent collection each month, allowing visitors to discover new pieces on repeated visits. This rotation system protects the prints from damage caused by light exposure and aging.
