The museum is located in Misumi, Nagato City, the birthplace of the painter Yasuo Kazuki. 
Kazuki, who loved his hometown, never left it and continued to create works under the themes of human love and peace. The museum opened in 1993 after receiving a donation of carefully preserved works from Kazuki's family. The museum's collection includes oil paintings from his early and later years, ink drawings, and small objects called "toys".
