Lonely Planet review for Yamatane Museum of Art (Yamatane Bijutsukan)

This exceptional collection of nihonga (Japanese-style paintings) includes some 1800 Japanese works dating from the Meiji Restoration and onwards, of which a small selection is on display at any one time; exhibits change approximately seven or eight times per year. Two names to look for: Hayami Gyoshū (1894–1935), whose Dancing Flames is an important cultural property; and Okumura Togyū (1889–1990), whose Cherry Blossoms at Daigoji Temple is a masterpiece in pastel colours. In 2009 the museum moved to these new surrounds.
