KAB Venue - Itsuo Art Museum

Itsuo Art Museum

Museum in The Northern Osaka area

The Itsuo Art Museum is named after Ichizo Kobayashi (1873-1957), an entrepreneur (founder of the Hankyu Railway) and fine arts collector. From a young age, Kobayashi had a strong interest in the arts and started collecting in his twenties. His collection included modern Japanese paintings, ceramics, and Buddhist crafts. Without realizing his dream to build a museum to house his collection, he passed away in January 1957. Later that year, is residence, "Gazoku Sanso," was remodeled and opened its doors to the public in October as the Itsuo Art Museum. The collection reflects Kobayashi's strong understanding of art. Fifteen pieces have been recognized as Important Cultural Property and 19 pieces as Important Art Object, both designated by the country.
