On display is art by master painter and elder statesmen of the domestic art revolution which occurred during the Meiji period, Hashimoto Gaho.

This museum was opened to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Yamazaki, who preserved all Gaho’s works and handed them down to his descendants.

    美術館巡りを始めて、30年になります。当たりもあれば外れもあるのですが、外れてもそういうもんだと思って、よほどのことがない限り、気にはしません。ただ、それは展示作品に対する愛情があって、多くの人に見て欲しいという誠実な情熱がある限り、です。橋本雅邦、好きな日本画家なので、川越にはいつか行かなくては、と思ってました。今回、10連休はあまり遠出せず、意外と行かないところに行こう、がテーマなので、マルタ...

    ガレット目当てで伺いました。 道路沿いとは思えないほど、静けさを感じます。入ってすぐに小さなホールがあり、写真の展示があります。本もおいてあり、自由に読めるので、平日の空いてる時間帯などはゆっくり静かに過ごせるのではと思います。 可愛いヤギもいます。 ガレットは味付けもよくとても美味しく頂けました☺︎
