At a Glance
Nara Prefectural Museum of Art is a museum in the city of Nara that opened in 1973. Its collection of more than 4,100 items grew from early modern Japanese paintings, ukiyo-e and decorative arts donated by the painter and historian of customs Yoshikawa Kampō. Special exhibitions are also held.
Later additions include the collection of Yura Tetsuji, works by the Nara-born craftsman Tomimoto Kenkichi, pieces by the Gutai Art Association, and the postwar Japanese contemporary art gathered by Ōhashi Kaichi. Among the named works are prints by Sharaku and Hiroshige and a vermilion-seal letter of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The museum stands about five minutes on foot from Kintetsu Nara Station, close to Tōdai-ji, Kōfuku-ji and Nara Park.
