Domoto Insho Bijutsukan (Insho Domoto Art Museum)

Domoto Insho Bijutsukan (Insho Domoto Art Museum) Review

An artist of tremendous versatility, Insho-san (as he was affectionately known) worked in wood, stained-glass, oils, and watercolors. The narrative paintings of the 20th-century artist hold wide appeal because they depict scenes from everyday life. Yet his use of classical Japanese painting's muted color palate with a more abstract, sometimes cubist, approach to figures makes his work very appealing. To get here, take Bus 12, 15, 50, 51, 55, or 59 to Ritsumeikan Daigaku-mae.
