Introduction

The Hokkaido Hakodate Museum of Art sits within the Goryokaku cultural precinct of Hakodate. Its core collection centres on Takeji Fujishima — a master of Western-style painting born in the city — and extends to Hokkaido and modern Japanese painting, prints and crafts. Housed in a renovated historic building, it forms a cultural walking belt with Goryokaku Park and the literature museum nearby.
