    The “Musée Hamaguchi Yozo: Yamasa Collection” is a museum housing and displaying the works of Hamaguchi Yozo, a copperplate engraving artist renowned internationally in the latter half of the 20th century.
    Hamaguchi Yozo was born the third son of Hamaguchi Gihei, the tenth president of Yamasa Corporation. After the war, he dedicated himself to copperplate engraving, pioneering a new copperplate engraving technique, called color mezzotint, in Paris, and his serene works achieved international acclaim.
    An area that had been used as a soy sauce warehouse was refurbished, and reopened as a museum in This small but cozy space resonates with the delicate copperplate engravings of Edward Suzuki, the renowned architect.
    Rotating exhibits including exhibitions celebrating Hamaguchi Yozo and Minami Keiko are held three or four times a year, along with other events and copperplate engraving classes.
