Ohara Museum of Art

The businessman Ōhara Magosaburō founded it with works bought in Europe by his protégé, the painter Kojima Torajirō. The collection began with a painting by Edmond Aman-Jean and grew to include El Greco's Annunciation, Monet's Water Lilies, and works by Gauguin, Renoir, Matisse and Picasso. The classical main building has Ionic columns. Later wings added modern Japanese oil paintings and a Crafts Wing with ceramics by Kawai Kanjirō, Hamada Shōji and Bernard Leach, and prints by Munakata Shikō. Ōhara saw the museum as part of his service to society, like the hospital and research institutes he also founded.
