At this museum we house about 1,400 pieces of art focusing on ukiyoe, hosting project exhibitions and special exhibitions throughout the year as well. We are especially proud of our "Nakasendo Rokujukyu-tsugi Nouchi" (Tanaka collection), which includes the "Nakatsugawa in the Rain". There is also a popular video corner on the 2nd floor Ukiyoe Navigation Room where you can try overprinting and learn about the process of making ukiyoe.
