Yamatane Museum of Art (Yamatane Bijutsukan) Review

Relocated from the Government district to this location in swanky Hiroo, the museum, which specializes in Nihon-ga—traditional Japanese painting—from the Meiji period and later, has a private collection of masterpieces by such painters as Taikan Yokoyama, Gyoshu Hayami, Kokei Kobayashi, and Gyokudo Kawai. The exhibits, which sometimes include works borrowed from other collections, change seven or eight times a year. Visitors can take a break at Café Tsubaki, which offers coffee and cake sets.
