At a Glance
Hosomi Museum is a registered museum of Japanese art in the Okazaki district of Sakyo Ward, Kyoto. It displays the collection of the Hosomi family, built up over three generations by the wool textile businessman Hosomi Ryoichi, his son Minoru and his grandson Yoshiyuki. A foundation was approved in 1994 and the museum opened in 1998.
The collection spans nearly every field of Japanese art, from Heian Buddhist paintings and sculpture to Edo-period paintings by Rinpa artists and Ito Jakuchu, and it includes several Important Cultural Properties. Its strength in Rinpa has earned it the nickname Rinpa Museum. Architect Oe Tadasu drew on Kyoto townhouse motifs for the building, which has an atrium courtyard, a cafe-restaurant and a rooftop garden. It stands beside Okazaki Park, close to the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art.
