Kagawa Prefectural Higashiyama Kaii Setouchi Art Museum, Art and biographical museum in Sakaide, Japan
The museum exhibits 350 works by Japanese painter Kaii Higashiyama in two spacious galleries spread across two floors near the Seto Ohashi Bridge.
Following Kaii Higashiyama's passing in 2001, his family donated 270 lithographs to Kagawa Prefecture, leading to the museum's establishment in April 2005.
The museum showcases different aspects of Higashiyama's artistic career through rotating exhibitions that highlight his connection to Japanese landscape painting.
The museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, except Mondays, with extended hours until 7:30 PM during summer months from May through August.
Architect Yoshio Taniguchi designed the 583-square-meter structure to incorporate views of the Seto Inland Sea, complementing Higashiyama's nature-focused artworks.
