Lonely Planet review

The primary work of sculptor Asakura Fumio (1883-1964) consisted of realistic sculptures of people and cats, but the real attractions are the Japanese house, studio and garden, designed by the artist himself. Upstairs in the Morning Sun Room and the Poised Mind Room are some excellent ink scrolls and beautiful old tansu (wooden chests).
