Shōhaku Art Museum (松まつ伯はく美術館びじゅつかん, Shōhaku Bijutsukan) opened in Nara, Japan, in 1994. It was established thanks to donations of artworks and the support of Kintetsu. The collection comprises paintings and sketches by Uemura Shōen, Uemura Shōkō (上村うえむら松まつ篁たかむら), and Uemura Atsushi (上村うえむら淳あつし之これ), and special exhibitions are staged to help promote the appreciation of Nihonga. The shō (松まつ) element of the museum's name is derived from the first character of the first two of these artists' given names, as well as from the pines in the garden of the former honorary chairman of Kintetsu, where the museum now stands, while the haku (伯はく) element comes from its tea house, known as Hakusentei (伯はく泉いずみ亭てい).
