It reflects Yumeji’s belief that art is in life itself.
The exhibition room, cafe and gift shop.

This space is the fruit of a collaboration that transcended space and time between Yumeji Takehisa and Eiji Mitooka to express Yumeji’s design in a new way.
We have decided to build an art cafe within an exhibition room so that you can enjoy a good cup of coffee while admiring Yumeji Takehisa’s art.
Through this, we wished to reprodce Yumeji’s ‘art in life’ belief that he tried to convey in the later years of his life through his “Haruna-san Art and Craft Institute”.

The <Tsubaki Sabo> is the woodblock prints of Yumeji gallery and the modern Japanese Tea cafe in the Yumeji Birthplace Memorial Museum newly renovated barn.

You can enjoy seasonal and Yumeji-themed Japanese sweets created by the confectioner Sayoko Sugiyama who works in Kyoto city, accompanied by some delicious Japanese tea such as Matcha tea.
The gift shop has been transformed into a truly fulfilling and relaxing space where you can enjoy a variety of original museum goods.
Yumeji’s beautiful reprinted woodblock prints are put on display and on sale in the same room, so please take your time enjoy a delicious drink or do some shopping while enjoying Yumeji’s world.
