About the Museum

Tatsuoki Nambata (1905-1997) was awarded the Cultural Merit Medal for establishing the unique Japanese abstract painting style filled with deep poetic sentiment and spirituality. This exhibition introduces Nambata’s art from his early years to his later years, in which he continued to challenge himself to create new works throughout his life.
Nambata’s son, Fumio Nambata (1941-1974), who died young at the age of 32, expressed his unique world of painting with pen drawings, watercolors, and oil paintings, using a wide range of images and colors. His works, which amounted to more than 2,000 pieces, were created over a period of about 15 years like a diary, and convey the joys and pains of his sincere youth.
In May 1998, the Tatsuoki and Fumio Nambata Memorial Museum of Art was opened in Gallery NOW, overlooking the Tateyama Mountain Range.
