A private museum near the bustle of Dotonbori, the only place in the world permanently exhibiting "Kamigata Ukiyoe." Unlike Edo (Tokyo) prints, you can touch a unique aesthetic that realistically depicts actors' personalities. The highlight is the woodblock printmaking workshop where you can actually experience making prints. For intellectual travelers who wish to not only view art but experience culture by making their own print, it’s a very popular spot.
