Azumino Jansem Museum

The Azumino Jansem Museum is an art gallery in Azumino dedicated entirely to the work of a French painter. It displays a wide collection of paintings and drawings that document different phases of his artistic development.

The museum was founded in 1993 and was the first institution worldwide dedicated entirely to this artist's work. This collection was built over many years and remained the most important archive of his works until his death.

The museum displays works by a French artist who focused deeply on human faces and emotional expressions. The exhibitions connect European painting techniques with a sensibility found in Japanese artistic traditions.

The gallery is located near Hotaka Station and is easily accessible by car or local transport. Visitors should allow enough time for a leisurely visit and to explore the different exhibition rooms.

The museum is part of a special art route in the region that connects multiple specialized galleries. This route creates a unique dialogue between the artworks and the surrounding Japanese garden landscape.
