ホキ美術館
Japan's first museum specializing in realistic paintings
The artist has devoted a lot of time to each painting, creating meticulously realistic paintings that convey more than reality.
A gently curved corridor-style gallery
The entire building is equipped with LED lighting, and there are no picture rails, making it a space where you can focus solely on the paintings. Approximately 120 realistic paintings are displayed in the three-story gallery, one above ground and two below.
