Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography, Photography museum in Hōki, Japan
The Shoji Ueda Museum of Photography is an art museum in Hōki that houses over 12,000 photographs and artworks within a modernist building. The structure sits at the foot of Mount Daisen, offering views of the surrounding landscape from its entrance.
The museum was founded in 1995 and preserves the work of a photographer who was active in the San'in region. His work later gained international recognition for surrealist photographic compositions.
The museum displays work by a photographer who documented the sand dunes and landscapes of the Tottori region. His images remain on view today, showing how nature appears in this part of Japan.
The museum is best reached by taxi, with the journey from Yonago Station taking about 25 minutes. Visitors should arrive earlier in the day since the museum closes at 17:00, allowing time to explore the collection at a comfortable pace.
The second floor features a camera obscura installation with a large lens that visitors can actually use. The experience shows how the world looks when viewed through the optics of a giant camera.
