Tōfū Memorial Museum

Tōfū Memorial Museum, Calligraphy art museum in Matsukawadochō, Japan.

The Tōfū Memorial Museum is a calligraphy museum in Matsukawadochō, Kasugai, Aichi Prefecture, opened on 1 November 1981 on the site said to have held the residence of Ono no Michikaze's father. Its displays present Ono no Michikaze's achievements, reproductions of Heian-period calligraphy, and the Tōkoku, Itō Tōkai and Ritsuen libraries of books and materials donated by three calligraphers from Kasugai.

The museum was established to preserve the legacy of a master calligrapher from Japan's Heian period. Its founding in the 1980s helped document this ancient artistic tradition for future generations.

Calligraphy here represents a form of personal expression deeply rooted in Japanese artistic tradition. The works on display show how brushwork became a way for artists to reveal their character and refinement.

The museum is served by the Kasugai City Bus southern line, which stops at the Tōfū Memorial Museum stop. From Kawamura Station on the Nagoya Guideway Bus Shidami Line, the museum is about a 15-minute walk. The building stands in Matsukawadochō, in the spot where Ono no Michikaze's father is said to have had his residence.

The displays are reproductions of works by Ono no Tōfū and other Heian calligraphers, not original manuscripts. The museum also holds donated books and materials from three Kasugai-born calligraphers, shown as the Tōtani, Itō Tōkai and Rakuon Hayashi collections.
