Nanto Fukumitsu Art Museum

The Nanto Fukumitsu Art Museum is an art and biographical museum in Hōrinji that features works by three local artists: printmaker Shiko Munakata, painter Koyo Ishizaki, and sculptor Hidetaro Matsumura. The collection showcases different artistic techniques and methods that reflect the creative heritage of the region.

The museum was founded in 1994 from a collection of donated artworks by regional creators. Its establishment marked the beginning of organized efforts to make the artistic heritage of the area accessible to the public.

The museum displays works by three regional artists whose creations shaped the local art scene. The pieces give visitors a sense of how these makers influenced the artistic identity of the area.

The exhibition space is small and easy to navigate, so visitors can see all the artworks in a brief visit. The museum sits in a forested area and provides a calm setting for viewing the collection.

The museum presents contemporary art installations within a forested setting, creating an unexpected blend of displayed works and natural landscape. This contrast between the artworks and their wooded surroundings makes the experience feel distinct from typical indoor galleries.
