The museum opened in October 1984, and is owned and operated by the city of Kodaira. The exhibition annex was opened in February 1994. It includes many of Denchu's works and studies, including a bronze casting (made from the original wood-carving) of Tenshō (Reincarnation) of 1920. The statue depicts a wrathful figure with a halo of flames – perhaps the Buddhist deity Fudô-myôô – as it vomits out a tiny human figure.
