The Kōsetsu Museum of Art (香雪美術館, Kōsetsu Bijutsukan) is an art museum that opened in Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan in 1973.[1] The museum preserves, researches, and displays the collection of Japanese and East Asian artworks—including Buddhist art, calligraphic works, tea utensils, early-modern paintings, arms and armour, and lacquerware—built up by Murayama Ryōhei, also known as Kōsetsu,[2] founder of The Asahi Shimbun.[1] These works include nineteen Important Cultural Properties and twenty-three Important Works of Fine Arts.[3] In December 2021, the museum closed for an extended period of renovation, although exhibition activities continue through the Nakanoshima Kōsetsu Museum of Art in Osaka.[4]
