Kanda Nissho Memorial Museum of Art
This municipal museum houses about 135 paintings and sketches by Nissho Kanda (1937–1970), known as a farmer artist who died young. A campaign launched by local volunteers to award a posthumous honor to this Western-style painter who lived in Shikaoi evolved into a campaign to build a museum in his honor, resulting in the opening of the Kanda Nissho Memorial Museum in 1993. It was renamed the Kanda Nissho Memorial Museum of Art in 2006.
