As expected, it is a work of art from the Honma family, which was a wealthy merchant from the Edo period to the prewar period. It's an on-parade of famous authors in Japan. Some works are not allowed to be photographed, but I'm glad that most of them can be photographed. As for my personal affairs, I was happy to see the work of "Ono Dojo" that was also published in "Sanada Taiheiki (sakushotaro Ikenami)".

You can also enjoy the garden.

Chokai ...

ここのお庭は雪のない時の方がいいのかもしれない

本間様の別邸

酒田の豪商、本間家の別邸跡を利用した美術館で、別邸の庭園や建物と共通で見学できます。美術館自体はこじんまりしていますが、土地に根差した美術展などが企画されています。隣接の別邸の建物と庭園は見事でした。料金は少々高いかな、と感じました。
