Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum (or Sakano-ueno-kumo Museum, in Japanese: 坂の上の雲ミュージアム) is a museum located in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, and inspired by the novel Saka no ue no kumo, written by Ryotaro Shiba.[1] Matsuyama City leads community development mainly with this museum. The museum was constructed by Tadao Ando. He is also known for the construction of Ryotaro Shiba Memorial Museum.
In the designing process, Tadao Ando managed to represent the powerful thought of the times of people in the Meiji Era, like Shiki Masaoka, Yoshifuru Akiyama, Saneyuki Akiyama, and more. The museum was designed to be appreciated as a touring circuit-style garden. Construction work of the museum started on December 22, 2004. It was finished on November 30, 2006. Then, on April 28, 2007, Saka no ue no kumo Museum opened.
