Throughout the post years, Mukai has consistently used the traditional thatched roof farm houses of Japan as the subject matter of his paintings. Saddened at the loss of these structures which were rapidly disappering as a result of intence economic development, Mukai traveled to all parts of the country and depicted them with accurate realism and vividness. In this manner, he has succeeded in recording the beautiful natural features of Japan. The Mukai Junkichi Annex is located in the quiet residential area of Tsurumaki in the Setagaya district where Mukai lived with his family since 1933. The museum which is surrounded by trees such as the oak, zalkova, reminiscent of the Musashino area, is a peaceful resting place for visitors, conveying Mukai's creative spirit and an elegant atmosphere.
