The Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery stands as a powerful tribute to Emperor Meiji, preserving his era’s “imperial virtues” through historical and artistic lenses. Built on the emperor’s funeral site in Meiji Jingu Gaien, the gallery is a striking example of early modern Japanese architecture and has earned its status as an Important Cultural Property. Inside, visitors encounter two impressive halls adorned with 80 mural paintings that illustrate pivotal moments from Emperor Meiji’s reign, reflecting Japan’s transformative journey into the modern era. The solemn grandeur of the gallery, paired with its historic significance, offers a contemplative experience for lovers of art, history, and Japanese culture.
