The Fukuda Museum of Art, a new museum that opened in 2019, is located near the bustling Togetsukyo Bridge. Stepping inside, you'll find yourself in a world apart from the surrounding hustle and bustle. The museum houses approximately 2,000 works by famous Kyoto-based painters such as Ito Jakuchu and Uemura Shoen, and its concept is to create exhibits that will move even those unfamiliar with art. Clear cases that allow you to experience the jewel-like colors of Japanese paintings, catchy explanations, and exhibition rooms where many works can be photographed, will surely be enjoyable even for those unfamiliar with Japanese art. In addition, the museum cafe, "Bread and Espresso and Fukuda Museum of Art," offers a spectacular view of the Togetsukyo Bridge. [Entry limited from July 18th to September 6th] "I want to be happy! - Paintings of prayer -" The Fukuda Museum of Art in Arashiyama, Kyoto, will hold a special exhibition themed on "prayer" in the summer of 2026. Since ancient times, when people did not have a written language, people have imbued their prayers with pictures, wishing for their own happiness, the happiness of those close to them, and the peace and security of their country. This exhibition is divided into three parts. First, it introduces the world of "Buddhist paintings," depicting the figures and stories of Buddha, and showcases for the first time at this museum a number of ambitious works by modern painters who challenged themselves with realistic expression and new sensibilities. In the second-floor exhibition room, "auspicious paintings" that adorn daily life, such as the Seven Lucky Gods, cranes and turtles, and pine, bamboo, and plum blossoms, are displayed, conveying prayers for peace in life. Finally, it takes you to the world of landscape paintings by Higashiyama Kaii (1908-1999), a giant of the Japanese art world. Kaii's brushwork, which he described as "a prayer of the heart, a desire to live honestly," is filled with a tranquility that seems to purify the viewer's heart, allowing them to spend a moment conversing with their own inner voice amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
