Yasuura History and Folklore Museum Minami Kaoruzo Memorial Hall

This museum was opened in April 1985 as the Yasuura History and Folklore Museum (Minami Kunzo Memorial Museum) after renovating the birthplace and studio of Minami Kunzo, a painter who left an indelible mark on the history of modern Japanese Western-style painting, and adding a special exhibition room. Not only Minami Kunzo's works are on display, but also the art materials he used and his favorite items, allowing visitors to get a deeper understanding of his personality. The main house is estimated to have been built in the late Edo period, making it a valuable building that gives insight into the architectural style of the time. Old farm tools and folk implements are also on display, giving visitors a glimpse into the lifestyle of the time.
