Akino Fuku Museum, Art museum in Tenryū Ward, Japan
Akino Fuku Museum is an art museum in Tenryū Ward built on a hilltop with traditional materials including local cedar wood and earthen walls. The building has distinctive triangular roofs and combines crafted construction with modern museum spaces.
The museum opened in 1998 to honor Fuku Akino, an artist who achieved recognition when she received an award at the 1936 Bunten exhibition. This moment marked a turning point that established her reputation as a significant painter.
The museum displays paintings by Fuku Akino, a painter whose works reflect journeys across India, Afghanistan, Nepal, and Cambodia. Her art carries impressions from these travels and speaks to her exploration of distant cultures.
Visitors walk from the parking area to the museum via a dedicated path and must remove shoes before entering exhibition spaces. The interior can be navigated easily, with barefoot walking on prepared floors being part of the visit experience.
The interior preserves a 120-year-old cedar pillar from the Tenryu region, which remains as both a structural and symbolic element. The floors are mixed with straw and mortar, creating a distinctive barefoot walking surface that is intentionally part of the museum experience.
