Yamaguchi Prefectural Hagi Museum & Uragami Memorial Hall
The ukiyo-e collection is certainly worth a look. The architecture of this museum itself is artwork.
This museum has displays of ukiyo-e, oritental clay and porcelain works. With one corner near Shizukiyama Park, and the Pottery Hall and Main Hall built by architect Kenzo Tange so as to bridge the Aiba River, the museum building itself is art. Along with the Kintai Bridge, the Hagi Museum & Uragami Memorial Hall is even introduced as a two-star facility, the highest rank in Yamaguchi Prefecture, in the world famous travel guidebook, the "Michelin Green Guide." The museum is also famous for its possession of rare ukiyo-e pieces, like "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," of which only three exist worldwide. These pieces can be seen in ordinary exhibitions (Pieces on display will be changed monthly).
