Ken Domon Museum of Photography

The Ken Domon Museum of Photography (土門拳記念館, Domon Ken kinenkan) was opened in 1983 in Sakata, Yamagata (Japan), the birthplace of the photographer Ken Domon. On the occasion of becoming the first honorary citizen of Sakata in 1974, Domon donated his entire collection of works to the town. This prompted the decision to build a museum in his honour, and it was the first museum dedicated to photography in Japan.
