Japan Folk Art Museum, Craft museum in Naniwa Ward, Japan
The Japan Craft Museum occupies a reinforced concrete building designed with castle architectural elements in the southern part of Osaka city.
The museum started in 1950 in Osaka's Dojima district and relocated to its current location in 1960, using a renovated Edo-period rice storehouse.
The exhibition space presents traditional crafts and everyday items created by unnamed artisans throughout Japanese history, focusing on functionality and aesthetics.
The museum building stands at 3-7-6 Nambachuo in Naniwa Ward, near multiple public transportation stations including the Nankai Railway network.
This institution holds the distinction of being the fourth registered private museum in Osaka Prefecture, maintaining collections of actively produced craft items.
