Namikawa Cloisonné Museum, Art and biographical museum in Higashiyama-ku, Japan
The Namikawa Cloisonné Museum displays 130 pieces of enamel art, tools, and sketches in a traditional Japanese building from 1894.
Master craftsman Namikawa Yasuyuki created intricate cloisonné works during the Meiji period, establishing new standards for Japanese decorative arts from 1845 to 1927.
The museum building combines Japanese and Western architectural elements, featuring imported glass shoji windows and raised lintels in the reception room.
Located three minutes from Higashiyama Station, the museum opens from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission at 1,000 yen for adults and 900 yen for students.
The adjacent garden, designed by Jihei Ogawa VII, contains a carp pond and stone lanterns visible through glass sliding doors from the interior spaces.
