Summary
Summary
The red brick building housing the museum was designed by the architect Yamaguchi Naoaki, a student of Vincenzo Ragusa. Construction began in 1909 and completed in 1912. The building long served as the head office of the Akita Bank and is today designated an Important Cultural Property. In 1981, the building was donated to the municipality of Akita. Recognizing its significance as a surviving example of Meiji period architecture, the municipality renovated it before opening it to the public as the Akita Akarenga Museum in 1985. The museum maintains permanent exhibits dedicated to Katsuhira Tokushi (1904–1971) and Sekiya Shirō (1907–1994). • Illustration — Interior • Illustration — Ibid. • Illustration — Ibid.
