Tanaka Isson only posthumously became famous and acknowledged unfortunately. He is sometimes compared to Paul Gauguin in that he was attracted in a Southern Island and stayed there in the last time of his life. He is in other times compared to Henri Rousseau in that his brush strokes resemble those of Rousseau’s especially in one of his greatest works, “Kuwazuimo to Sotetsu.” I highly recommend you visit this museum.

Due to its geographical and historical characteristics, Fukuoka City has served as a gateway to continental Asian culture since ancient times. Today it has assumed a new role, that of a key interactive city for Asia. Fukuoka Asian Art Museum opened in 1999, as a part of the city’s progressive strategy for interaction with different Asian cultures. The Fukuoka Asian Art Museum is the only museum in the world that systematically collects and exhibits Asian modern and contemporary art. The works in the collection of the museum are not imitation of Western art or repetitions of traditional works. Instead they seek to overcome the existing framework of art, being made by artists living in ‘contemporary’ Asia. These artists attempt to acutely express their message in and about this changing world of Asia. FAAM's exhibitions of Asian modern and contemporary art are rich in depth and quality, and wide in scope. They present the originality and charm of Asian art in a way that cannot be experienced in any other museum in the world. The museum has also been functioning as a place for people to become familiar with Asian arts and culture through the artistic creations and researches of the invitees of the Residence Program. It is an interactive museum - the place of meeting, understanding each other and creating together.
This might be the best museum I have been to in Japan. There was a wide variety of art from different regions in Asia. Some traditional, and some very modern. There were English translations on all the plaques, that gave the history of the piece, background on the artist, and the techniques used. There was also a stunning collection of photos capturing the four seasons. We spent over two hours here and could have stayed longer if we had the time.
