    An art museum located in Furukawa Town, Yasugi City, Shimane Prefecture which focuses on displaying modern Japanese paintings. The museum’s collection includes master Japanese painter Yokoyama Taikan’s masterpieces “Koyo” and “Ame hareru,” in addition to works by other modern Japanese painters such as Takeuchi Seiho and Hashimoto Kansetsu, in addition to ceramics by renowned artist Kitaouji Rosanjin. The museum’s exhibit is changed four times a year in line with the seasons. The museum is also famous for Japanese gardens such as the Karesansui-tei rock garden and Hakusaseisho-tei sand and pine garden, totaling some 50 thousand square meters in all. The museum’s gardens are revered around the world and they have long ranked in at number one on the American Japanese gardening magazine “Journal of Japanese Gardening’s” list of top gardens.

    The museum requires a train ride and then a short (free) trip on a tram to the museum. The art in the museum is mediocre, not world class. The gardens are overdone and the fake waterfall adds a...

    松江城北側の塩見縄手にある美術館。入館料は700円だが、松江城の3館共通券を提示すると団体料金に割引となる。 受付のある長屋門は歴史ある建築物だが、その先にあるのは現代的で美術館らしい建物。入口を入ったところは解放感のある吹き抜けとなっており、1階と2階はスロープで結ばれている。設計は奇抜な江戸東京博物館をデザインした菊竹清訓。 展示品は多くなく、陶器が中心であとは茶道具と日本画が少し。古い町並み...

There are also displays of Bizen ware which have been designated National Prefectural Important Intangible Cultural Properties as well as paintings by recipients of The Order of Culture.

    通りすがり、看板に書かれた「日本一の備前焼コレクション」にひかれて寄りました。ところが、ほぼほぼ加納・・という地元の画家の絵が展示されているだけでした。備前焼きは一部屋で加納さんの絵画は三部屋で展示されていました。

    Shimane Matsue-shi Tonomachi 412

    銀行建築として、正面に飾り柱がありますが、そのデザインがちょっと変わっていて、近くにある日本銀行の建物に比べると、デザインが自由な感じがします。柱と柱の間にあるメダリオンのような装飾もなぜここにこのデザイン？という感じで、なかなか興味深い建物でした。訪問時は美術館のほうがお休みのようでした。

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
