Ryohei Murayama Memorial Museum

The Ryohei Murayama Memorial Museum is a biographical museum in Tamaki that displays personal belongings, artworks, and collected items from someone active during the late 19th century. The galleries contain Buddhist art, calligraphy, paintings, tea ceremony implements, and several objects designated as nationally important cultural properties.

The museum opened in 1983 to preserve the legacy of someone who collected Japanese and East Asian art during the late 19th century. The establishment transformed a private art collection into a public space for learning about and viewing these works.

The collection displays Buddhist artwork, calligraphy, paintings, and tea ceremony items that reflect the artistic tastes of someone who valued Japanese and East Asian creative traditions. These objects show how such artistic practices were woven into daily life and personal culture.

The museum is open daily except Mondays, with extended closures during the New Year period. Allow enough time to explore the artworks and personal items thoroughly and immerse yourself in the story of this collection.

A memorial room contains personal items that offer insight into the daily life and passions of the person being honored. These intimate details reveal who this individual was beyond the formal history of their business endeavors.
