Kanazawa Nakamura Memorial Museum

Kanazawa Nakamura Memorial Museum, Art museum in Hondamachi, Japan.

The Kanazawa Nakamura Memorial Museum is an art museum in Hondamachi that focuses on Japanese tea ceremony arts and related crafts. The collection includes calligraphy, paintings, lacquerware, and pottery displayed across multiple exhibition spaces and traditional rooms.

In 1965 Eishun Nakamura (1908–1978) established the Nakamura Memorial Foundation and moved the former Nakamura residence to the site as an exhibition building; it opened in May 1966 as the Nakamura Memorial Hall. The collection was donated to Kanazawa City, and in July 1975 it became the Kanazawa City Nakamura Memorial Museum. The main building opened in November 1989 for the city's centennial.

The collection reflects items valued in Japanese tea ceremony practice, including a Joseon dynasty tea bowl and a tea caddy from the Southern Song and Ming periods. These objects remain displayed in dedicated spaces that show the aesthetic tastes that guided Japanese collectors.

The museum opens from 9:00 to 17:00, with last entry at 16:30, and closes only for exhibition changes. From Kanazawa Station, take a bus for about 20 minutes and get off at Hirozaka or Hondamachi. The site sits on a slope by Hondamori Park, with the Cultural Path and History Path stairs leading up past a waterfall fed by the Tatsumi Canal.

The two tea houses, Bai-an and Koun-an, stand on the museum grounds beside the Hondamori Park wooded slope, where a waterfall fed by the Tatsumi Canal drops past the "Cultural Path" and "Historical Path" stairs. Walking the "Green Path" along the slope leads from the museum to the D.T. Suzuki Museum.
