Seizo Ota was a collector of ukiyo-e paintings from the 17th to early 20th centuries, which are popular overseas. The museum was founded based on his final wishes. It houses about 12,000 ukiyo-e works, including those by Katsushika Hokusai. Every month, about 70 works are put on display. Within the museum, there is also a rock garden in the rest area. The exhibit takes about 45 minutes to view.
