It
is
called
a
museum
where
the
works
of
Katsushika
Hokusai
are
exhibited,
but
it
is
closer
to
the
standing
position
of
a
museum
that
follows
the
trajectory
of
the
person
and
style
of
"Katsushika
Hokusai".
You
may
be
disappointed
when
you
imagine
a
gorgeous
museum
where
the
works
of
Katsushika
Hokusai
are
gathered
together.
All
of
the
ukiyo-e
on
display
are
duplicates,
and
most
of
the
works
can
be
photographed
(for
personal
enjoyment)
(however,
the
use
of
the
flash
function
is
prohibited).
The
explanations
for
each
exhibition
are
always
written
in
English,
so
foreign
tourists
can
enjoy
it.
Since
the
elevator
is
the
only
way
to
get
to
and
from
the
exhibition
room,
even
people
with
disabilities
can
enjoy
it.
The
room
of
the
permanent
exhibition
is
not
so
large,
and
you
can
go
around
in
about
30
minutes.
If
it's
only
a
permanent
exhibition,
it
costs
400
yen,
but
it
may
feel
a
little
unsatisfactory.
If
you
want
to
know
more
about
Ukiyo-e
and
Katsushika
Hokusai,
you
should
use
it
when
a
special
exhibition
is
being
held.
Although
it
is
called
an
art
museum
that
displays
works
by
Katsushika
Hokusai,
it
is
more
like
a
historical
museum
that
traces
the
history
of
the
man
and
his
style.

(Original)
葛飾北斎の作品が展示されている美術館と銘打っているが、どちらかというと『葛飾北斎』という人物や作風の軌跡を追った資料館という立ち位置の方が近い。葛飾北斎の作品が一堂に集められた絢爛豪華な美術館を想像すると、落胆してしまうかもしれない。
展示されている浮世絵は全て複製で、一部を除きほとんどの作品が(個人で楽しむ範疇で)撮影可能である(但しフラッシュ機能の使用は禁止)。各展示の説明には必ず英語が併記されているため、外国人観光客にも楽しめる。展示室への昇降はエレベーターのみであるため、障碍を持つ人でも楽しむことが出来る。
常設展の部屋はそれほど広くは無く、30分程度で回れる。常設展のみであれば400円で済むが、少し物足りなく感じるかもしれない。より浮世絵や葛飾北斎のことを知ったり楽しんだりするのであれば、企画展が開催されている時に利用するといいだろう。
