Spring 2025 Exhibition at Villa Yurinso
Welcome to Villa Yurinso! 
Enjoy Omotenashi with Contemporary Art
2025.4.18［Fri.］ ～ 5.11［Sun.］

Villa Yurinso was built in 1928  as a private residence for Ohara Magosaburo (1880–1943), the founder of Ohara Museum of Art, and a guest house for honored guests visiting Kurashiki. Many leading figures and distinguished people have visited this villa in the past and no doubt each enjoyed the facilities combining Japanese and Western styles, the views of the garden and Kurashiki from the windows, and the moments they spent there.

　　Nearly one hundred years after its construction, as Villa Yurinso was showing wear and tear caused over the years, renovation was undertaken in 2024. While doing our best to preserve the original design, the walls, ceilings, tatami mats, gutters, etc. were repaired. The refurbished Villa Yurinso is being unveiled in public for the first time on this occasion. To welcome visitors anew, the villa has been decorated with works by contemporary artists from the Ohara Museum Collection.
　　We hope you will savor a new form of omotenashi characteristic of us in 2025 at Villa Yurinso, which once played a role as a guest house.

  • About the Villa Yuriso

    Prime Modern Architecture in Kurashiki
    The Private Residence of Ohara Magosaburo, the Founder of Ohara Museum of Art

    Yurinso, a villa overflowing with lush verdure, stands nobly amid the townscape of Kurashiki. The building is a representative example of modern architecture in Kurashiki, and was completed in 1928 as a villa for the Oharas, a local merchant family.
    　　The Ohara family’s principal residence was a traditional townhouse inhabited from the Edo period. Due to its open structure, there was no space for the family to relax on their own. Consequently, Ohara Magosaburo (1880–1943) elaborated a plan for Villa Yurinso as a place where the family could spend time on their own. He was concerned about his wife Sueko (1883–1930), who was prone to illness. Although the initial plan proceeded as a bungalow-type Western-style architecture, in order to function as a guest house for distinguished visitors to Kurashiki, it was turned into a combination of a single-story Western-style structure, a two-story Japanese-style structure, and Chinese-style designs, all of which created a placid harmony.

    　　Villa Yurinso was designed by Yakushiji Kazue (1884–1965), an architect from Okayama, who also designed the main building of Ohara Museum of Art. Regarding the design for the Japanese-style architecture, Yakushiji received instruction from Ito Chuta (1867–1954), who was Yakushiji’s teacher and is known for having designed Meiji Jingu, Tsukiji Honganji, etc. Furthermore, the aesthetic sense of Kojima Torajiro (1881–1929), the painter who was responsible for the formation of the Ohara Museum of Art collection in the initial years, as an artist is reflected here and there regarding the interior design. The garden was designed by Ogawa Jihei VIII (1882–1926) and Ogawa Jihei VII (1860–1933), who were active mainly in Kyoto.

    　　Distinguished guests continued to be welcomed at Villa Yurinso after its ownership was transferred to Ohara Museum of Art in 1935. For a long time, it was not open to the public. However, in 1997, the doors were opened to the public, and nowadays, exhibitions held concurrently with special viewings of the villa are organized twice a year, and there are also special viewings to enjoy the night view of Kurashiki.

Exhibition Highlights

Western-style room

Western-Style Room

Welcome to Villa Yurinso!
Villa Yurinso was completed two years before the establishment of Ohara Museum of Art. The beautiful Western-style room with hinged doors and windows opening outward, a parquet floor, and simple ceiling decoration was initially adorned with Western artworks collected by Kojima Torajiro. Water Lilies by Claude Monet, which has now become the principal image of Ohara Museum of Art, is one of the works which used to be hung in this room.
In this exhibition, omotenashi to welcome you is provided by Fukuda Miran’s Water Lilies by Monet and other works.
Dining room

Dining Room

Gastronomical Omotenashi

The dining room with eye-catching Chinese-style decoration was designed by Kojima Torajiro. The kitchen leading on to the dining room is fully equipped with an ice refrigerator, presumably common in the Taisho and early Showa eras, and imported cooking utensils, enabling us to imagine how the guests would have been entertained gastronomically too. Here, omotenashi is provided by Vegetable Weapons: Barazushi (Garnished Sushi) / Kurashiki by Ozawa Tsuyoshi.

The Japanese Space

Beyond the Western-style room is a tasteful traditional Japanese-style room, with which the design of the airy transoms across the high ceiling harmonizes. Hanging scrolls, bonsai, and ikebana used to decorate the tokonoma (alcove) for the guests to enjoy. This time, contemporary works such as Ai-chan BONSAI (Pine) by Aida Makoto will further enhance the charm of this Japanese-style room.

 Relax at Ease

From the Japanese-style room on the second floor designed with attentive consideration, you can enjoy a sweeping view of the picturesque townscape of the Bikan Chiku (Scenic District) of Kurashiki extending beyond the window. Invitees would no doubt have spent peaceful moments in this space. After savoring the townscape to your heart’s content, the bed depicted in UNTITLED by Iba Yasuko will invite you into a cozy sleep.
