Fujita Museum — Attraction in Osaka

Title: A Cultural Oasis near Osaka Castle - Fujita Kuntsmuseum

My recent visit to Fujita Kuntsmuseum near Osaka Castle was an absolute delight. Located conveniently next to a subway train entrance, it offers easy access for visitors from various parts of the city.

The museum itself is housed in a spacious area, providing a serene and immersive experience. The main hall showcases real-time matcha making, allowing visitors to witness the traditional process and even taste the exquisite matcha and sencha paired with delicious mochi. The documentary film on traditional Japanese tea culture adds an educational touch, deepening the appreciation for this art form.

One of the highlights for me was the outdoor park surrounding the museum. The vast green space adorned with golden and red leaves created a breathtaking sight. The park is not only kid-friendly, with plenty of space for little ones to run and play, but it is also suitable for seniors who can enjoy leisurely walks amidst nature's beauty.

I highly recommend trying the sencha and red bean paste mochi during your visit. The flavors are delightful and perfectly complement the serene atmosphere of the museum and park.

For a truly magical experience, I suggest planning your visit around 3-4 pm to catch the mesmerizing sunset. The golden hues cast a warm glow over the surroundings, creating a picturesque and unforgettable moment.

In conclusion, Fujita Kuntsmuseum is a cultural oasis near Osaka Castle that offers a unique and immersive experience. From the fascinating matcha making process to the tranquil outdoor park, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Don't miss the opportunity to indulge in the sencha and red bean paste mochi while taking in the breathtaking sunset. A visit to Fujita Kuntsmuseum promises a memorable and enriching experience for visitors...

我们在这家店的体验非常不愉快，尤其是工作人员对外国人的态度让人感到不被尊重。

从我们一进门开始，就有一种被监视的感觉，工作人员不断地提醒“这个不可以”“那个也不可以”，让人非常紧张不安。我们只是简单拍了两张照片想做个纪念，当时店里除了我们根本没有其他客人，却立刻被指责说“妨碍了别人”。请问我们妨碍了谁？

之后有几位日本女生也在店内拍照，工作人员却完全没有制止。这种区别对待让人非常困惑，也不禁让我们怀疑：这是因为我们是外国人吗？

点单的时候，服务态度也很冷淡，几乎没有任何笑容和交流。我们在洗手间想换衣服，也被一直敲门催促，完全不给人一点私人空间。 更让人无法理解的是，无论我们走到店内哪里，只要稍微站久一点，就会被说“影响其他客人”。但我们清楚当时除了我们并没有别人。站着休息片刻就被盯上，让人感觉根本不被欢迎。

我们尊重每家店的规矩，也理解有一定的管理要求，但我们希望能被公平地对待，不因是外国人就被区别对待。这次的经历令人非常失望。

このお店での体験は非常に残念でした。特に、スタッフの外国人に対する態度にはがっかりしました。

入店した瞬間から監視されているような感覚があり、「これはダメです」「あれもしないでください」と繰り返し注意され、非常に居心地が悪く感じました。店内で記念に2枚だけ写真を撮ったところ、すぐに「他のお客様の迷惑になります」と注意されましたが、そのとき店内には私たちしかいませんでした。一体誰の迷惑になっていたのでしょうか？

その後、日本人の女性が来店し、同じように写真を撮っていましたが、スタッフは何も言いませんでした。この対応の違いには正直、疑問を感じざるを得ません。私たちが外国人だったからでしょうか？

注文時の対応も非常に冷たく、不親切に感じました。トイレで着替えをしていた際も、何度もドアをノックされ、落ち着いて準備することができませんでした。

また、どこにいても、少し立ち止まるとすぐに「他のお客様の迷惑になります」と言われました。しかし、実際には他にお客様はいませんでした。まるで常に見張られているような気分で、リラックスできる雰囲気ではありませんでした。

もちろん、店舗のルールを守ることは大切だと思いますが、外国人というだけでこのような扱いを受けるのは非常に悲しいことです。平等な対応をお願いしたいと思います。

Our experience at this store was deeply disappointing, especially due to the way the staff treated us as foreigners.

From the moment we entered, we felt like we were constantly being watched. The staff repeatedly told us, “You can’t do this,” or “You can’t do that,” which made us feel very uncomfortable. We took just two photos inside to remember our visit, and immediately a staff member told us we were disturbing others. But there was no one else in the store at the time — who were we disturbing?

Later, some Japanese women came in and took photos as well, but the staff didn’t say anything to them. This difference in treatment made us wonder — were we treated this way just because we are foreigners?

When ordering, the staff was cold and unwelcoming, showing no friendliness or effort to communicate. I also tried to change clothes in the restroom, but the staff kept knocking on the door, giving me no privacy or time.

What was even more frustrating was that no matter where we stood in the store, if we stayed in one spot for even a short time, a staff member would come over and tell us we were “in the way” or “disturbing other customers.” But again, there were no other customers around. It felt like we weren’t allowed to exist in the space peacefully.

We respect store policies and understand the need for rules, but being treated differently just because we are foreigners is truly disappointing. We hope the store reflects on this and treats all customers with equal respect and fairness...

藤田美術館的收藏品是由明治時代的知名企業家藤田傳三郎以及他的兒子平太郎和德次郎共同策展。傳三郎對於明治維新後，許多傳統上保存在封建領主和宗廟等祖傳財產的文化寶物，命運令人擔憂的現象感到迫切。許多這些文化寶藏要麼被送到國外，要麼在日本內部被忽視。傳三郎不僅僅是一位企業家，更是一位堅定的藝術愛好者，這種激情一直持續，盡管早年受到父母的警告。他堅決致力於這一使命，發起了有系統的藝術品採集，並設立明確的目標："在這個時期，我將全面積累藝術品，同時防止國寶的分散。" 他的繼承人繼承了他對藝術寶藏的熱情，並於1954年成立了藤田美術館，怀抱誠摯的願景："這些國寶不應該僅限於私人財產，而應該對全球社群開放，促進志同道合的人共同欣賞，並為研究者提供無價的研究材料。"

從建立之初直到2017年6月11日的暫時休館，藤田美術館設於藤田家於明治和大正時代建造的財寶室內，這個財寶室在1945年的大阪空襲中奇蹟似地倖存下來，而其餘的住宅則受到了嚴重損壞。保存於財寶室內的藝術收藏品得以驚人地保存下來。新成立的藤田美術館，作為一個"財寶中的博物館"，被珍愛了六十多年，其目標是將這些傳承下來的藝術品傳遞給未來的世代，保護它們的文化重要性並持續推廣其欣賞價值。

The Fujita Museum's collection was curated by Fujita Denzaburō, a prominent businessman during the Meiji era, along with his sons Heitarō and Tokujirō. Denzaburō, in response to the disconcerting fate of cultural artifacts traditionally held within the ancestral estates of feudal lords and religious institutions, post-Meiji Restoration, felt a compelling urgency. Many of these cultural treasures were either being sent abroad or subjected to neglect within Japan. Denzaburō, not merely a businessman but also an unwavering art enthusiast, a passion that endured despite early admonitions from his parents, was resolute in his commitment. He initiated the systematic acquisition of these pieces with a clear objective: "In this period, I shall accumulate artworks comprehensively, while concurrently preventing the dispersal of our national treasures." His successors inherited his ardor for artistic treasures and subsequently inaugurated the Fujita Museum in 1954 with the earnest aspiration that "these national treasures should not remain restricted as private assets. Instead, they should be made readily accessible to the global community, fostering collective appreciation amongst like-minded individuals and serving as invaluable research materials."

From its establishment until its temporary closure on June 11, 2017, the Fujita Museum was accommodated within the renovated treasury of the Fujita family residence, constructed during the Meiji and Taishō periods. This treasury, remarkably, endured the devastating 1945 Osaka air raid, which inflicted significant damage to the rest of the residence. The art collection housed within the treasury remained remarkably preserved. The newly established Fujita Museum, functioning as a "museum within a treasury," cherished for over six decades, aspires to transmit these inherited artworks to future generations, safeguarding their cultural significance and perpetuating their...
