The museum opened in March 2018 as the second exhibition facility of the Kosetsu Museum of Art Foundation in Higashinada Ward, Kobe, which houses the collection of Ryohei Murayama, founder of The Asahi Shimbun Company, one of Japan’s leading media companies. Its diverse collection includes Buddhist art, calligraphy, early modern paintings, tea utensils, and arms and armor, including 19 Important Cultural Properties and 33 Important Art Objects.
Although the museum is located in a high-rise building in a business district, it offers a quiet space. Its calm interior blends contemporary architecture with traditional beauty, and its state-of-the-art climate control, display cases, and LED lighting provide an ideal environment for viewing art.
