Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum

This museum houses and displays Ukiyo-e produced in the Kamigata area(Kansai region).

In this four-story museum, the staircase leading to the second floor, where the planned exhibitions are held, features wall panels displaying "Settsu Meisho zue," depicting scenes from Dotonbori during the Edo period, inviting visitors into the world of Ukiyo-e.

On the 2nd and 3rd floors, about 30 pieces are displayed according to themes, focusing primarily on popular actors from the late Edo period, such as the 3rd Nakamura Utaemon.

The 4th floor hosts special exhibitions regularly and also displays Ukiyo-e production tools. With a reservation made at least three days in advance, visitors can experience Ukiyo-e printing. The workshop offers easy three-color printing for beginners and more advanced four-color printing, allowing participants to choose a course that suits their interests.

After immersing yourself in the world of Kamigata Ukiyo-e, don't forget to shop at the 1st-floor museum shop. It offers a variety of Ukiyo-e themed items, including bookmarks, Kabuki playing cards, and tenugui (Japanese hand towels) featuring the museum's family crest.
