Intimate, succinct, and well-thought out museum that showcases Hamaguchi’s work. Visitors get to appreciate the laborious and intricate process that is mezzotint. There were some interactive portions that were the “cherry” on top.

This small museum displays mainly mezzotint artwork by the late Yozo Hamaguchi. His artwork is both unique and very interesting. Many of Hamaguchi’s artwork utilizes a lot of black coloring but yet it is not dark. Rather the black helped to draw out the warmth of the other colors. Unfortunately photography is mostly restricted so I don’t have any to share. It is definitely a nice museum to visit if you’re in the area.

Exceptional exhibition space. Artwork had descriptions in English. Make sure to take advantage of the view of the city and the cafe while you are there.

Small but interesting museum

A quiet private art museum just a short walk from Suitengumae Station. The artwork is wonderful, of course, but the sophisticated, modern interior design is also appealing. The attached café space has a nice atmosphere too, making it a perfect spot for a grown-up holiday stroll.
