Gyokudō Art Museum, Art museum in Mitake, Japan
The Gyokudō Art Museum stands on a forested hillside by the Tama River, featuring concrete and steel structures that follow sukiya-zukuri architectural principles.
The museum opened in 1961 to preserve the legacy of Kawai Gyokudo, who lived in Mitake from 1944 until his death in 1957, creating numerous paintings.
The museum displays a rotating collection of Japanese paintings spanning seven decades, from sketches made at age 15 to works completed at age 84.
Visitors can reach the museum by taking the JR Ome Line to Mitake Station, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults and 400 yen for students.
The museum grounds include a dry landscape garden with nine selected rocks from the Tama River, integrated with maple and ginkgo trees against mountain views.
