Kakuya Oishi Museum of Art-yama, Biographical and art museum in Awaji, Japan

The Kakuya Oishi Museum of Art-yama is a biographical and art museum on Awaji Island that displays works and personal objects of the artists. The building integrates indoor spaces with natural surroundings through its architectural design.

The painter Kakuya Oishi, a native of the former Higashiura town on Awaji Island, and his wife Shoco built the main gallery in October 2003 on a hillside in Kusumoto beside Awaji Yumebutai, and the museum opened in 2004. Before opening, local artists and Oishi's admirers worked on an "art village"; the stone building is by local artist Manabu Suzuki. It is run by the NPO "Awaji Oiso Art Yama o Tsukuru Kai".

The museum bears the names of its founders and displays their artistic work in a space that connects with the surrounding landscape. Visitors experience how contemporary art and the personal history of the artist couple come together here.

The museum stands at 2159 Kusumoto, Awaji City, a six-minute walk from the Awaji Yumebutai-mae bus stop, reached in about 45 minutes by JR bus Oiso-go from Sannomiya. It opens from 10:00 to 17:00 and closes on Mondays, or the following day when Monday is a public holiday.

The exhibition spans different phases of artistic development and shows spatial installations alongside traditional works. This allows visitors to follow the range and experimentation of the artists across decades.
