Japan Museums: Insho Domoto Museum of Fine Arts
Insho Domoto Museum of Fine Arts 堂本印象美術館
The Insho Domoto Museum is in northwestern Kyoto, between the Golden Pavilion and Ryoanji Temple on the road that winds through forests on its way to Ninnaji Temple and beyond.
The facility features the works of Insho Domoto (1891-1975), who was a great Nihonga painter.
The museum was created by Insho Domoto himself, in 1966, designing both the inside and the striking exterior of the building.
The Insho Domoto Museum now belongs to Kyoto Prefecture, who took over the running of the museum in 1991.
