Isson Tanaka's Final Residence

The wooden residence contains the living quarters and workspace where painter Isson Tanaka created his final artworks depicting Amami's natural world.

After moving to Amami Oshima in 1958, Tanaka resided in this dwelling until his death in 1977, supporting himself through textile work while painting.

The residence preserves the exact setting where Tanaka developed his distinct painting style, combining Japanese techniques with Amami's subtropical elements.

Located northeast of Naze port, the residence maintains regular visiting hours and displays information about Tanaka's life and artistic methods.

The residence includes Tanaka's original painting tools and the kitchen area where he prepared his final meal before dying of heart failure.
