TheFujita Art Museum (藤田美術館,Fujita Bijutsukan) is one of the largest private collections in theKansai region. The collection was assembled byFujita Denzaburō and his descendants. It was installed in a storehouse on the family property inOsaka.
Opened to the public in 1954, the collection houses Chinese and Japanese painting,calligraphy, sculpture, ceramics, lacquer, textiles, metalwork, and Japanesetea ceremony objects.
The Japanese paintings include 13th and 14th century scrolls such as theMurasaki Shikibu Diary Emaki (National Treasure) and paintings of the 16Rakan byTakuma Eiga.
