Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art

The Hirayama Ikuo Museum of Art contains three exhibition halls displaying paintings that incorporate traditional Nihonga techniques with contemporary subjects.

The museum preserves works by Hirayama Ikuo, who survived the 1945 Hiroshima bombing and dedicated his artistic career to promoting peace through art.

The permanent collection features numerous paintings depicting the ancient Silk Road and the transmission of Buddhism across Asia to Japan.

Visitors can access the museum by taking an hourlong bus ride from Onomichi Station to Setoda Port or using the ferry service.

The museum building, designed by Takashi Imazato, integrates modern architectural elements while maintaining harmony with the surrounding island landscape.
