The Ukiyoe artworks created in Osaka

Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum is located in Osaka Dotonbori by Hozenji temple, which has been closely related to kabuki and Ukiyoe.

The internationally-famous Kamigatae

Ukiyoe may seem to have been more popular in Edo (current Tokyo), but Kamigata (current Osaka and Kyoto) has also been a hub of the artworks in the past.
"Kamigatae" (Kamigata Ukiyoe) was owned by Gogh and famous museums like British Museum and California Museum own many of its artworks.

There are exhibits of Ukiyoe on the 2nd and the 3rd floor, while the 4th floor is a recreation space to experience making Ukiyoe.
