The Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum, located in Matsuyama, Japan, is dedicated to the historical novel "Saka no Ue no Kumo" ("Clouds Above the Hill") by Ryotaro Shiba. The novel, set during the Meiji era, follows the lives of three notable figures: brothers Akiyama Yoshifuru and Akiyama Saneyuki, and their friend, the poet Masaoka Shiki. The museum, designed by renowned architect Tadao Ando, features exhibits that delve into the historical context of the novel, showcasing artifacts, documents, and multimedia presentations. The sleek, modern design of the building itself is a highlight, reflecting Ando's characteristic use of concrete and natural light.
