Fujii Art Museum

Art Museum

3.5

The characteristic heavy facade of this museum of folk art is modeled after the gate of the second wall of Takayama Castle. The museum houses a collection of approximately 2,500 pieces of antiques and folk art amassed over 70 years by Takayama's resident doctor, Tadaichi Fujii. The building in which the collection is displayed is a clay structure built over five years using all cypress wood in the Edoman style. The building has walls that are nearly one meter thick. The wide-ranging collection contains, among other things, Kyoho dolls made over 270 years ago, hanging scrolls by Yokoyama Taikan and Ikkyu, and Kutani and Imari ware.

古い美術品・民芸品を所狭しと展示

Reviewed : 2021.08.15

高山の古い町並・上三之町にある。医師・藤井糺一が収集した古美術品・古民芸品などを展示。入館料700円。展示室内撮影不可。入口の門は高山城二の丸の登城門を総檜造りで復元したもの。土蔵を改修した3層の展示室には、陶器、漆器、家具、書、人形、着物、武具などが所狭しと並んでいるが高山ならではというものはない。「高山の美術民芸」館ではなく、「高山にある」美術民芸館である。
