A place shaped to the scholarly ideology of Kansetsu Hashimoto over 30 years
Kansetsu Hashimoto, a Japanese painter active in the Shijo school of Kyoto Gadan during the Taisho and Showa periods, designed this home-cum-studio as part of his move to Kyoto, spending some 30 years from 1914 in several rebuilds to expand it to his needs. And, now it is a museum passing on Hashimoto’s works and ideology.
A National Scenic Beauty Spot, the garden - with its pond and paths - is home to stone artworks dotted here and there, such as Buddha statues and lanterns from Kamakura to Momoyama periods; all collected by Hashimoto during his lifetime. And, here, always ever present, are the main house, studio (Zonkoro) and tea room, arbor, jibutsudo (private buddhist temple) and other structures.
