Kita-Kamakura Yoh Shomei Art Museum

4.0

An art museum dedicated to collecting watercolors and oil paintings by Kumamoto Prefecture native and artist Yoh Shomei. The museum is located along the route from Kita-Kamakura Station to the Meigetsu-in Temple. Built based on the concept of an old Western-style house which was once the home to a painter and poet father, a gentle mother, a 10 year old daughter, and a five year old son, the museum looks as if it came from the pages of a storybook.

明月院を訪れた帰り道で偶然発見し、長らくファンだった私は友人を引き留め寄りました。入ってすぐはショップで、その先の美術館エリアで入場料が必要になります。葉祥明氏の絵と建物が素敵にマッチしていて良い時間を過ごせました。友人にも好評で、グッズまで買ったようで嬉しいです。
