    Of course I like the famous Aizu Snow Scenery series, but I also like Kiyoshi's works that have sharp points that are like the cry of the soul. In this project, I fell in love with the word ``Charity'' at first sight. I still can't forget ``At the University of Washington Summer School'' from ``The Tolman Collection'' exhibition about three years ago. I hope we can meet again someday. The projection mapping near the entrance that depicts the four seasons of Okuaizu is very beautiful and soothing.

    (Translated by Google) Impressions before entering and on the way back It's a completely different museum😁 Great spirit! In addition to the impact of the special exhibition projection mapping The one-per-family project, cafes and shops, I'm working on a lot of things to fold. Even the girl in the backyard sculpture Are you picking persimmons? It was the right season. (Original) 入る前と、帰り足の印象が 全く違う美術館さんです😁 気合いがすごい! 企画展のインパクトもさることながら プロジェクションマッピングも 一家に一枚プロジェクトも、 カフェも売店も、 たたみかける様に色々仕掛けてます。 裏庭の彫刻の少女さえも、 柿取りですか?という丁度の季節でした。

    Located on the same premises as the roadside station Yanaizu, this is an art museum created by painter Kiyoshi Saito, who has ties to Yanaizu Town. Painter Kiyoshi Saito is an artist who created woodblock prints with bold compositions that resemble modern paintings.His series with winter motifs in Aizu is famous for exquisitely expressing the texture of snow, and is famous for his works in Fukushima. This artist is familiar to everyone who lives in the prefecture and has at least one calendar displayed in their household. They hold regular exhibitions, and in addition to works by painter Kiyoshi Saito, they also display works by artists from Europe and America, where the artist lived when he was young, as well as works by printmakers such as Shiko Munakata. I have it. In addition to viewing the works, workshops are also held regularly where you can try your hand at making prints. In the rest lobby, there are times when coffee shops open on business trips, so while enjoying coffee, you can admire the Tadami River embankment that can be seen from the museum, Zuikoji Bridge, the red arch bridge of National Route 252, Kokuzo-son Enzo-ji Temple, etc. You can spend a relaxing time while looking at it. It's a great facility that you won't lose if you visit Yanaizu Town with the museum as your only destination.

    (Translated by Google) This is an art museum where you can experience the charm of Kiyoshi Saito's prints, which express the scenery of Aizu in each season, such as winter in Aizu, Aizu with persimmons, and Aizu with flowers. You can feel that he is a printmaker who loves Aizu and is loved by the locals. Kamakura, Kyoto, Paris, works depicting people and cats are also wonderful. (Original) 会津の冬、柿の会津、さつきの会津等、四季折々の会津の風景を版画で表現した斎藤清氏の作品の魅力に触れる事ができる美術館です。会津を愛し、地元の人からも愛されている版画家だと感じることができます。鎌倉や京都、パリ、人物や猫を描いた作品も素敵です。

    I think this is a must-see place in Yanaizu. For just 500 yen and 30 minutes, you can have a wonderful time. Those who like ukiyo-e prints by Hiroshige and others will definitely like this. We also recommend checking out the video corner when you visit. Also, Mo◯members will receive a postcard as a gift.

    He is a great man that Fukushima Prefecture is proud of. I've known it since I was a child Touch the work here at the museum I realized once again how amazing it is. I was impressed. If you come to Yanaizu, please come visit us. is not it. On the way home, I bought two art books. It's gone. The nearby atelier is also a must-see. I would love to see it as a morning drama on NHK in the future.

    Absolutely love the artwork here and if you're up for it you can explore the local area to see places depicted in Kiyoshi Saito's works. The atmosphere is great and they just setup a nice cafe with a nice view. Strongly recommend checking out this museum!

    The world of Miyoshi Saito's printmaking is simple but memorable. With lines, texture and colors his works brought me back to the old time in Aizu. Must visit museum and their lovely gift shop :)

    そんなに広い美術館ではありませんが、中は鑑賞しやすく、ゆったりと回ることができました。 初めて見ましたが、どれも素敵でした。 途中で簡単な版画体験やお絵描きコーナーもあり、お子様でも楽しめると思います。

    Wonderful landscape paintings and prints depicting the winter landscape of Yanaizu Town

    Although it is a small museum, it specializes in Kiyoshi Saito, with whom I have a connection, and I think the exhibitions are also very ambitious. The location along the Tadami River is also perfect.

    No, it's the best. Even if you don't know Kiyoshi Saito, you'll definitely like him.

  • 5/5 Ben Sykes T. 1 year ago on Google • 73 reviews
    Beautiful gallery, with a collection of Kiyoshi Saito's work. ¥510 entry is well worth it. Plenty of parking, and information on his life and work.

  • 5/5 Kenji K. 6 months ago on Google • 53 reviews
    There are prints by Kiyoshi Saito on display, and the special exhibits change about every three months, so it's fun to go and see the exhibits every season. The shop sells picture postcards, posters, and matching frames. The entrance fee is cheap, but we recommend buying an annual passport for 1000 yen. Also, JAF discount is also effective.

  • 5/5 Chee Tat T. 5 years ago on Google • 45 reviews
    Collection changes with season, and the current Winter in Aizu collection is really beautiful. Buy post cards and posters at the gift shop, worth the trip if you like the art style.
