Kanpō-kan, Calligraphy museum in Higashiōmi, Shiga, Japan

Kanpō-kan is a museum in Gokasho Ryūden-chō, Higashiōmi, Shiga, dedicated to calligraphy culture. Its main building has exhibition rooms on floors one, three, four and five, plus a book-court-style room with a reconstruction of the Qianlong Emperor's Sanxitang study and a Western antiques room with music boxes and classic cars.

The museum opened in October 1995 in the Gokashō district of Higashiōmi, Shiga Prefecture, after the death of Harada Kanpō, founder of the Japan Shūji Education Foundation. From the late 1960s he had gathered Chinese calligraphy and painting materials abroad, and a site beside the Ōmi Shodō Culture College was secured for the building. A new wing opened in October 2015.

The museum is named after Harada Kanpō, founder of the Japan Shūji Education Foundation, who from the late 1960s gathered Chinese calligraphy and painting materials abroad. It opened in October 1995, after his death, beside the Ōmi Shodō Culture College in Gokashō. A recreated Qing-dynasty study, Sanxitang, can be seen inside.

The museum holds about 25,000 objects, among them antique music boxes and classic cars in a Western antiques room. Its Shoin exhibition room is built in the Chinese siheyuan courtyard style, where visitors can try ink rubbings of inscriptions in hands-on sessions.
