Ibara Municipal Denchū Art Museum

The Ibara Municipal Denchū Art Museum displays wooden sculptures and artworks within a purpose-built structure that maximizes natural light for viewing exhibitions.

Established in 1969, this museum preserves the artistic legacy of sculptor Denchū Hirakushi, who received the Order of Culture in 1964 for his contributions to Japanese art.

The museum collection demonstrates the evolution of Japanese woodcarving techniques through exhibitions that connect traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expressions.

Located 15 minutes from Ibara Railway Station, the museum provides parking for 128 cars and offers reduced admission fees for groups of 15 or more visitors.

The museum building incorporates architectural elements specifically designed to showcase wooden sculptures through carefully positioned windows and display spaces.
