Introduction

The Yumeji Art Museum in Okayama honours Takehisa Yumeji, the poet-painter born in the prefecture. Famous for his melancholy-eyed 'Yumeji beauties' and gentle verse, he is a face of Taisho Romanticism. The museum shows his original paintings, book designs, manuscripts and personal effects, with a rebuilt living space; a garden teahouse and greenery evoke his everyday world.
