The logistics company, Sagawa Express Co.,Ltd. opened a private museum in 1998 to commemorate their 40th anniversary. The vast premises of almost 29,000㎡ is located before the scenic Lake Biwa with Hiei and Hira Mountains in a distance.
Most of the premises is a water garden that symbolizes Sagawa Museum. The wind from Lake Biwa ripples the surface while the sunlight dances around beautifully on the water garden. The three buildings stand as if they are floating on the water. Times and seasons change the scenery, which is a corroborate art by men and nature. The fine architecture and the space design blended with the surrounding nature have received a number of awards, acclaimed by many.
Inside, the prominent artwork by the Japanese painter, Ikuo Hirayama, sculptor, Churyo Sato, and the potter, the 15th Kichizaemon Raku (now called Jikinyu) is exhibited. Hirayama's work amounts to more than 350 pieces, his biggest collection in Japan. The exhibitions are divided among three halls: Hirayama Ikuo Kan, Sato Churyo Kan and Raku Kichizaemon Kan, each enhancing the unique art form to the best in their display.
