Suka Gogodo Art Museum in Nagasaki, Japan

In 1858, Japan was forced to sign the Treaty of Amity and Commerce with the United States. After this Harris Treaty opened Nagasaki to free trade in 1859, an influx of foreigners moved into the city. They established self-governing settlements near the port with Western-style architecture. One of those Meiji period buildings was 9 Minami Yamate-machi otsu, built for a Russian manager of dockworkers name G. Napalkov. Since 2002, it has been the Suka Gogodo Art Museum, celebrating the black and white drawings of an artist who fused Japanese and Western painting techniques. Suka Gogodo died in 2008 at the age of 95.
