    This museum was opened in 2010 after three farmhouses, one samurai residence, two merchant residences, one post station town wholesaler’s residence, and one gate from a samurai residence were moved here from the former Edomura open air museum.

    Ishikawa Wajima-shi Machinomachi Higashiono
    An art museum located close to the Machino River a 30-minute drive from downtown Wajima City. The museum is housed in a remodeled old rice granary building which has been designated a National Tangible Cultural Property. The museum displays over 250 works of art collected by the Nansoh, a wealthy family which prospered as the hereditary village headmen of imperial lands in the Edo period. Here visitors can see pieces by famous masters, including paintings by the great ink and wash painters Sesshu Toyo and Tawaraya Sotatsu, and pottery by Kyoto potter Ninsei Nonomura. The museum also contains restored areas which reveal what Japanese estates of the time looked like, such as an omoya main residential building and an irori sunken hearth. 400-year-old pines and holly olive as well as Noto Rhododendron obtusum grow in the garden in front of the museum. A Kyoto-style Japanese garden sprawls in the courtyard, and here visitors can take a relaxing stroll while taking pictures of seasonal plants.

    よくぞこんな辺鄙な場所に大層な美術品が集まっていたなんてと思ってしまいました。美術品に興味のある人なら一度は耳にしたことのある著名人の品々が米蔵を改装した美術館に大した説明もなく並べられています。いずれ、もっとしっかりした方たちによる展示の仕方が変わって行くのでしょうが、ある意味で朴訥で親しみを感じる雰囲気がありました。
