About
Tucked away on the third floor of a Shinsaibashi shopping building, this intimate museum showcases an impressive collection of authentic, historic woodblock prints from the Edo period. It highlights works by iconic master artists like Hokusai and Hiroshige, with a special focus on Kamigata-e (Ukiyo-e from the Osaka/Kyoto region) featuring kabuki actors. It is a quiet, fascinating cultural escape right in the middle of Osaka's busiest shopping district.
Insider Tip
Look closely at the prints to spot the intricate, metallic pigments that are hard to appreciate in digital reproductions.
