Kanazawa Yuwaku Yumeji-kan Museum, Biographical art museum in Yuwaku Onsen, Japan.
The Kanazawa Yuwaku Yumeji-kan Museum displays works by Japanese artist Yumeji Takehisa across two exhibition floors filled with paintings, drawings, and illustrations. The collection spans his artistic career and shows the range of his creative output over many years.
The museum was founded in 2000 to preserve the artistic legacy of Yumeji Takehisa in the Yuwaku region. This institution was created to make his work accessible and to honor his contributions to Japanese art.
Three muses who influenced Yumeji's artistic journey - Tamaki, Hikono, and Oyo - are commemorated through permanent exhibits on the ground floor of the museum.
The museum is located in the Yuwaku Onsen area and is accessible by bus from Kanazawa Station. It welcomes visitors during morning and early evening hours, making it easy to fit into your schedule.
The artist developed a deep connection to Yuwaku and considered it the hometown of his soul. This special bond formed after a period when he spent time there during an important moment in his personal life.
