Kanpō-kan, Art museum in Nara, Japan

The Nara Prefectural Museum of Art spans multiple floors and contains over 4,600 items including paintings, crafts, sculptures, and calligraphy from different periods.

The museum opened in 1973 following a substantial donation of artworks by Yoshikawa Kanpo, a Japanese painter and genre historian who collected 30,000 artistic pieces.

The collection features significant works such as The Landscapes of Autumn and Winter by Sesshu and Beauty by Soga Shohaku, representing Japanese artistic traditions.

The museum stays open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with adult admission at 400 yen, and provides special discounts for students and children.

The building incorporates traditional shrine and temple architectural elements into its modern concrete structure, with deep eaves and cantilevered beams.
