In commemoration of its 45th anniversary, the Kosetsu Museum of Art marked its inauguration the Nakanoshima Kosetsu Museum of Art on March 21, 2018. This is the Museum’s second exhibition venue, after its first venue in Mikage, Higashinada-ku, Kobe. The Kosetsu Museum of Art houses Japanese and East Asian antique art objects collected by Murayama Ryohei (1850-1933), the founder of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper. The diverse collection includes arms and armor, Buddhist art works, calligraphy, early modern paintings and tea ceremony implements, and informs us of Murayama’s enthusiasm for preserving irreplaceable cultural assets and conveying them for future generations.
