Incredible , a museum dedicated to the novel Saka no Ue no Kumo by Ryotaro Shiba. The setting is in the Meiji era, depicts the lives of brothers Yoshifuru and Saneyuki Akiyama, and Shiki Masaoka, who all came from Matsuyama.

If not a fan of Saka no Ue no Kumo, or not so interested in Japan modern history, you may skip this museum. As a buidling desigend by Tadao Ando, it is typical but not outstanding.

I can’t read Japanese. But the architecture here is something you can’t miss. The whole building is a concrete triangular prism. The centre piece is the long concrete staircase. There is another spectacular installation. Go to 2/F or 3/F. There is a balcony facing Bansuiso. The glass installed below the handrail is styled with ripples. I looked from inside the museum towards Banduiso. The glass looked like a pond with ripples. Above the “pond”, it was Bansuiso and the greenery. I don’t think this is not meticulously planned.

What a nice museum ! so very like Japanese !! Simple and elegant ~~ And the name of the museum means “ a cloud over the hill “ Don’t you think it’s such a charming name? Just the name of it definitely attracts me I was surprised this is a work of Ando Tadao who is one of my favorite world wide famous architecture we didn’t plan to visit this museum however it’s on the way to Bansuiso It’s a very interesting building ,also very early work of Ando Tadao. We didn’t mind to drop by to have a look . There’s a small cafe inside of museum. No charge to have a look and you can have a sip of Japanese tea while you are admiring this museum
