Asakura Fumio Memorial Park
The Fumio Asakura Memorial Park opened in March 1991 to honor the accomplishments of sculptor Fumio Asakura, born in Asaji, Bungo-Ono, and to fulfill his lifelong dream of creating an ideal space for art appreciation and preserving his works in his hometown.
The Fumio Asakura Museum of Sculpture, the park’s centerpiece, systematically showcases Asakura’s works from his student days to his final years, displays his personal effects, and offers a video presentation describing how Asakura’s art was established.
The museum is also surrounded by lush greenery, containing many fascinating works of art. Please spend a relaxing time while feeling the nature of the four seasons.
