Higashiyama Kaii Setouchi Art Museum

The Higashiyama Kaii Setouchi Art Museum in Sakaide, Kagawa Prefecture, is a tranquil contemporary gallery dedicated to the works of Kaii Higashiyama, one of Japan's most revered modern painters known for his luminous landscapes of forests, lakes, and Nordic scenery. The museum building, designed with clean lines and expansive windows, is positioned on a hillside overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, so that the views of islands and water outside become an extension of the pastoral serenity within the paintings. The permanent collection rotates through Higashiyama's major works alongside special exhibitions. A cafe on the premises takes full advantage of the sea views, making this a meditative stop for art lovers exploring the islands and coastline of Kagawa.
