Mori Shusui Museum of Art

Art Museum
This art museum is located on Sannomachi Crossing due-south of JR Toyama Station on National Route 41 is focused primarily on Japanese swords and knives, a rarity even in Japan. Its collection includes two hundred Japanese swords from the Heian period to the modern era. Its exhibits are centered on the works of sword smiths with connections to the Hokuriku area, such as notable Toyama Prefecture sword smiths Norishige and Go no Yoshihiro, the latter of which being one of the Nihon Sansaku (the three best sword smiths in the eyes of Toyotomi Hideyoshi). Visitors may also see works by notable artists of the Nihonga style of painting such as Yokoyama Taikan and Kawai Gyokudo. The museum's first floor also features a shop and cafe, creating an atmosphere that makes it a destination for sword-loving ladies.

    富山市で美術館巡りです。リードケミカル株式会社が主に天然記念物や刀剣などを中心に展示する美術館で、重みを感じましたね!!

    正直言ってそれほど刀剣に興味を持っていない私が、空いた時間に連れに誘われて行ったのですが、、、思った以上の迫力で時間が足りなくなりました。好きな人の気持ちが分かるようになりました。

    この美術館は三階建てになっていて、1階に受付とカフェと常設展示の絵画がありました。2階がメインの個人で収集した刀を展示してありますがその数に驚かされます。鎌倉時代から室町時代の刀が多く、みな見事です。3階は特別展示スペースで色々な展示会を開催するようで、訪問時には小磯良平展を開催していました。
