Picasso, Black, Modigliani, Matisse, and other modern artists were all inspired by African, Oceania, or primitive art.

Their visions which came from African art give us interesting configurations’, forms, expressions, and material textures that attract people’s feelings and emotions. It has the power to influence our hearts and we become captivated by its mysterious beauty. Over several hundred years, each tribe selected forms and expressions uniquely derived from their roots. More and more their works of art were inspired by their spirit and we too can experience their hopes of surviving, existing, and living. These are the origins of their spiritual creation. We who live in modern times can be inspired by African art.

The African Art Museum was established in an area which is surrounded by the beautiful south Alps, Mount Fuji, and Mount Kaikoma in Hokuto-shi. In Japan, this is the first and the only museum to introduce the world’s important African art collections from the pre-Christian to the modern period. Moreover, African Art Museum will introduce minority tribal arts from Asia, Oceania, Indonesia, The Philippines, Taiwan, and the Himalayan region.

The Fujiyama Museum was built by Fuji Kyuko Co. Ltd. and the Horiuchi Koankai Foundation. Construction was completed in July, 2013. For the 75th anniversary of the foundation of Fuji Kyuko Co. Ltd., a collection of Mt. Fuji paintings acquired by both foundations over the previous 40 years was put on display.
Mt. Fuji has been the subject of many artists' works since ancient times, with examples such as Mt. Fuji mountain worship and literature works such as "The Tale of Ise" (Ise Monogatari in Japanese). the lone, towering, severe yet graceful silhouette and the expression rich with subtle changes has definitely simulated the creative spark of artists in all ages.
From such works, Fujiyama Museum made a collection of masterpieces striving to capture Mt. Fuji from the original perspective of modern and contemporary artists. A variety of angles on Mt. Fuji looking through the artsists' eyes will be on display.
Through art work displays and educational activities, we strive to communicate the rich natural beauty of Mt. Fuji as Japan's natural asset and deliver the message to a world that must continue to protect that asset. We would be honored if many people who love Mt. Fuji gather and extend their frindship to the Fujiyama Museum as a place that offers intimate experiences with nature and art.

Once upon a time, this place, with views of the Southern Alps to the west and Mt. Fuji to the south, was called Kiyoharu. The Kiyoharu Art Colony has revived the name of this place, which is no longer marked on maps, as a place for artists to create and interact with each other.

Kiyoharu Art Colony is not only famous for its artwork, but also its architecture by famous architects such as Gustave Eiffel, Yoshio Taniguchi, Tadao Ando, and Terunobu Fujimori, its 100-year-old cherry trees in spring, wisteria in early summer, fresh greenery in summer, autumn leaves in fall, and white-tinted mountains in winter. The experience of interacting with art in the changing nature of Kiyoharu is not only an appreciation of art but also a special experience that will surely be recorded in your mind and heart.
