Fujita Museum of Art

The Fujita Museum's collection was built by Fujita Densaburo, a businessman active during the Meiji period, and his sons Heitaro and Tokujiro.
Densaburo felt a sense of crisis that many of the cultural assets that had been passed down through the lords' families and temples and shrines were being exported overseas or treated carelessly within Japan following the Meiji Restoration.
Densaburo was not only a businessman, but also an art lover to the extent that, despite being warned by his parents from a young age against collecting things, he was unable to change his nature.
He decided to take this opportunity to collect a large number of works of art and at the same time prevent the nation's treasures from being scattered, and so he began collecting.
His heirs inherited his passion for art, saying, "These national treasures should not be kept secret as the private property of one individual.
"I want these works to be widely available to the public, so that they can be enjoyed by friends with similar interests, and that they can be used as reference materials for researchers in the field," and so he opened the Fujita Museum of Art in 1954.

From its opening until its temporary closure on June 11, 2017, the Fujita Museum building was a renovated storehouse in the Fujita family residence, built between the Meiji and Taisho periods, that was reused as an exhibition room.
During the 1945 Osaka air raids, which destroyed most of the mansion, the storehouse fortunately escaped the fire, protecting the art treasures housed within.

The new Fujita Museum of Art, as a "storehouse museum" that has been loved for over 60 years, also hopes to pass on the artworks it has inherited to the next generation.
