What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Yumeji Art Museum is an art museum devoted to Takehisa Yumeji, a painter and poet active from the Meiji to Taishō eras. The main museum stands near the outer grounds of Kōraku-en in Okayama, with an annex in Setouchi, where he was born.
The main building opened in 1984, a century after his birth, on the site of the former Kōrakuen station of the Saidaiji Railway. About 2,000 works and materials are held, including magazines carrying his illustrations and poems, and 100 pieces are always on display. Well-known works include Tatsutahime, Aki no Ikoi and Kamogawa. The annex in Setouchi preserves the house where Yumeji lived until he was 16 and a reconstruction of his Tokyo studio, the Shōnen Sansō.
