We visited the Kamigata Ukiyo-e Museum and really enjoyed the experience. The museum is small but full of beautifully preserved woodblock prints that give a fascinating glimpse into the art and culture of the Edo period in Osaka.

This is a gem in the busy Dontonbori area. Don't miss out on the building with the cat! The museum itself covers the history of Kabuki in the Osaka area through art. It's very fascinating. But the ukiyoe experience is really what takes it home. Be sure to try it out and take a nice break from the hustle of the city. Reservations are required for the experience.

Small and nice museum. Focused in kabuki actors prints, explanations in English are available. There is also the option to book a wood printing workshop. The shop is very cute, very friendly staff. It was worth the visit.

I visited many of the usual tourist sites yesterday but by far this was my favorite experience in Osaka. I loved the inside and outside of the building, and was so grateful for the opportunity to touch a real kimono.

Very interesting small museum that explained the art of Ukiyoe (carving and stamping). It makes one appreciate the process and the subjects (actors or behind the scenes of the Theater). The gift shop was also very nice. If you want to Learn how to make your own prints, you can book an appointment. There was also a kimono you could borrow to take photos with. 👍🏼
The air-conditioned galleries offer a cool escape during summer heat and a cozy setting in winter. Weekdays stay quieter year-round.
