Akita Senshū Museum of Art, Art museum in Nakadori, Japan
Akita Senchu Museum of Art is a gallery in Naka-dori with a distinctive triangular form designed by architect Tadao Ando. The building spans three levels and holds diverse art collections across its interior spaces.
This gallery opened in November 1989 and holds a collection of Akita Ranga paintings from Japan's first painting school to embrace Western influences in the 18th century. These works mark a turning point when Japanese artists began to explore new styles and ideas.
The museum displays works by Tsuguharu Foujita, including a large mural showing scenes from daily life in Akita, alongside pieces from local and international artists. This collection shows how local art traditions and global influences come together here.
The museum sits about 5 minutes on foot from Akita Station and is easy to reach. Visitors should allow time to explore all three levels to see the different exhibitions fully.
The museum has a special section honoring Okada Kenzo, a local abstract artist whose paintings earned recognition in New York's art scene. This link between a regional city and the international art world often goes unnoticed but reflects the place's global connections.
