Yumeji Art Museum

Yumeji Art Museum (夢二郷土美術館 Yumeji Kyōdo Bijutsukan) is an art museum in Okayama Prefecture split between the Honkan in Okayama and the Yumeji Seika and Shonen Sanso built in Setouchi, the birthplace of Takehisa Yumeji.

The Yumeji Seika is the house where Takehisa grew up. It was converted into a museum in 1970. It was given official status as an art museum in 1979 and that same year the Shonen Sanso, a reconstruction of his Tokyo studio with the help of his son, Fujihiko Takehisa. The Shonen Sanso features many of Takehisa's self-portraits and photography.

The Honkan was built in Okayama near Kōraku-en to house the works of the Japanese artist Takehisa Yumeji in 1984, 100 years after his birth. In the Honkan Museum, there are 100 works permanently on display while the museum's other 2000 works are rotated. Some of his most famous works housed here include Tatsuta Hime, Aki no Ikoi (hanging scrolls), and Kamogawa (a hanging scroll) each featuring the Japanese beauties that encapsulate Takehisa's artistic style and preferred subjects.

The Honkan was bestowed the Suntory Regional and Cultural Prize in 1985, making it the first recipient in the prefecture.
