Hokusai Museum, Art museum in Obuse, Japan
The Hokusai Museum displays a collection of woodblock prints, hanging scrolls, and decorated festival floats created by the Japanese master Katsushika Hokusai.
Established in 1976, the museum preserves the artistic legacy of Hokusai, who spent his final years in Obuse under the patronage of merchant Takai Kozan.
The museum exhibits numerous works from the Ukiyo-e tradition, including pieces from the Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji series and local festival decorations.
Located 10 minutes from Obuse Station, the museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of 1000 yen for adults and 700 yen for students.
The museum collection includes a rare ceiling mural of a phoenix at nearby Ganshoin Temple, representing one of Hokusai's final large-scale artistic projects.
