Ōkoku Bunko, Historical house and cultural property in Kita-ku, Japan.
The Ōkoku Bunko complex includes a Western-style building, a Japanese-style residence, and an art studio situated in the Kinugasa district of Kyoto.
Established in 1913 as the residence of Japanese painter Kishima Ōkoku, the property became a foundation in 1940 to preserve his artistic legacy.
The Western-style building features a spiral staircase leading to exhibition rooms displaying Japanese paintings and calligraphy collections from medieval to modern periods.
Visitors can access the museum from Kitano-Hakubaicho Station with a 10-minute walk or take bus lines 50, 51, 55, 101, 102, 203, or 205.
The second floor exhibition room provides views of Mount Hiei and the 36 peaks of Higashiyama, while fusuma doors display hand-painted fern designs.
