Obuse Museum, Art museum in Obuse, Japan

The Obuse Museum exhibits a collection of artworks by Edo period master Hokusai, including ceiling paintings, woodblock prints, and festival float decorations.

The museum opened in 1992 to preserve the works of Hokusai, who spent his final years in Obuse under the patronage of merchant Takai Kozan.

The exhibition features two traditional Japanese festival floats decorated with Hokusai's ceiling paintings depicting dragons, phoenixes, and wave patterns.

Located 12 minutes from Obuse Station, the museum operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with admission fees of 1000 yen for adults.

Visitors can observe Hokusai's rare three-dimensional works alongside the Masculine Wave and Feminine Wave murals created for the Kanmachi Float.
