Contents
Omine Kaoru (1905-1970), born in Nejime, Ogimi Village, is a businessman and antique art collector active after the Battle of Okinawa. I started collecting activities when I was in my 20s, and I deepened my knowledge of antique art through interaction with various people. He successively held positions such as the first director of the first museum “Okinawan Exhibit Hall (Okinawa Exhibition Hall, later East Onna Museum)” in post-war Okinawa, and a member of the Cultural Property Protection Committee deliberation committee. This exhibition honors Omine's achievements, and introduces Omine's footprints and collected collections, such as the newly discovered “Omine Kaoru Art Museum Business Diary,” as an exhibition that approaches Omine's idea of collecting collections.
