The Toyama Prefectural Ink Painting Museum opened in 1999 as an art museum that mainly introduces post-modern Japanese ink paintings. The word ``Suiboku'' used in the museum's name has a meaning that refers not only to ink painting but also to a wide range of Japanese beauty. The building is a Japanese-style one-story building with a garden and tea room, allowing you to spend a peaceful time while feeling the richness of nature. In the permanent exhibition room, you can see works by painters representing modern times and painters connected to Toyama. Exhibition rooms 1 and 2 hold special exhibitions in a wide range of fields, including Japanese paintings and crafts.

I saw a super craft exhibition! Works by current artists and master craftsmen from the Meiji era are on display. Both are worth seeing. The inside of the hotel is very spacious and has a relaxing Japanese atmosphere. Various credit card payments possible At the souvenir corner, you can purchase authentic works such as sculptures and Buddhist statues.

Visited on 2023.12.9. “Superb technique, to the future! ” Aim for it. We have quite a few special exhibitions and traveling exhibitions. We recommend visiting this museum together with other museums in Toyama City. This time it is a set with Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art. The garden is wonderful, with a pond near the entrance and a lawn in the courtyard. However, the layout and circulation of the exhibition rooms are not good. It's a shame that the exhibit was difficult to display, so in the case of a traveling exhibition, it felt like it was forced into display because it didn't fit the museum. The shop also has a strong feeling of being opened and added as an afterthought. It's a shame that the design focuses on the garden and doesn't seem to have any other ideas. The works on display and the contents of the project are amazing, so I'm even more curious about it.

I came to see the Transcendental Techniques Exhibition on December 10, 2023. A wide variety of art works are on display, from woodwork and metalwork to paper crafts and embroidery. From modern works to Meiji era works. This time I brought a monocular for the first time. It was great to be able to see the details. It's 6x, but I thought it might have been better to see a wider area at 4x. I will visit again on June 11, 2023. This time, I came to see the ukiyo-e exhibition, subtitled Flowers of Edo Life, which runs until June 25th. For example, ukiyo-e prints mainly depict dogs and cats, indicating that the Edo period also kept pets. You can see things like gourmet details and hand-drawn pictures. For a limited time only, you can freely take photos of the exhibits from 16:00 to 18:00. The next one will be the Kawai Gyokudo exhibition from July.

I went to see Yoshitoshi Tsukioka (~11/19), a genius ukiyo-e artist who lived in a turbulent era. I love it, but it's too cruel for children younger than high school students, so I don't recommend it. The flyer stated that (some of the exhibited works contain shocking expressions), but the comments were too modest, so you should be careful.

Good collection of sumie or sumi brush paintings. Their special exhibitions are also interesting. Most interesting, however, is the museum building itself. It is a good example of Wa-modern or Modern style with Japanese tradition incorporated. You will see Japanese architecture is not limited to temples and shabby houses. At the edge of museum building, there is tea house attatched. It costs extra there to have green tea, but woth trying. Sorrounding garden is also nice.
