Fujita Art Museum

The Fujita Art Museum is an art museum in Miyakojima district, Osaka, focusing on artworks from China and Japan. The collection holds around 5000 objects, including paintings, calligraphy works, ceramics, sculptures and tea ceremony items.

Fujita Denzaburō began collecting artworks in the 1880s after many treasures were sold abroad following the Meiji Restoration. His heirs opened the museum in the 1950s to make the collection permanently accessible to the public.

The name honors entrepreneur Fujita Denzaburō, who preserved his private collection for later generations. Today visitors can see scroll paintings, tea bowls and calligraphy spanning several centuries of Asian art history.

The museum is near Osakajo-Kitazume Station on the JR Tozai Line. Rotating exhibitions take place twice a year in spring and autumn, each showing different parts of the collection.

The building originally served as the Fujita family treasury and survived the 1945 Osaka air raid. Thanks to its solid construction, the valuable contents remained intact during the war.
