Kamigata Ukiyo-e Museum

About

Located in the heart of Namba, this is the world's only museum dedicated to Kamigata ukiyo-e, woodblock prints from the Osaka-Kyoto region that primarily depict real-life Kabuki actors. Unlike Tokyo's idealized prints, these artworks capture the raw, expressive drama of local theater. Spanning four floors, this intimate space offers a quiet, cultural escape where you can even try your hand at traditional printmaking.

Insider Tip

Book the woodblock printmaking workshop in advance to ink and press your own traditional print under the guidance of a staff member.
