考虑到他对现代和技术设计的承诺，为这一特定项目选择东洋伊藤被认为是特别危险的，因为这个地点就在历史性的Shohinken山庄的正对面，靠近Yatsushio城堡的废墟。然而，伊藤并没有回避他的进步信念，设计了一个圆滑的玻璃亭子，一个复杂的，滚滚的钢天篷。

The selection of Toyo Ito for this particular project was seen as particularly risky, considering his commitment to contemporary and often technological design, as the site is directly opposite the historic Shohinken Villa and near to the ruins of Yatsushiro Castle. However, Ito did not shy away from his progressive convictions, designing a sleek glass pavilion with a complex, billowing steel canopy.

虽然博物馆有两层楼，但建筑物周围的地球被抬高成一个土墩，以使一座小山丘上的一层建筑看起来像一座单层的建筑。在起伏的屋顶上方是一个水平的半圆柱体，为博物馆提供藏品.这一举动的逻辑是，现场的高水位会使在地下室放置储藏室的做法过于危险。

Though the museum contains two floors, the earth around the building was raised into a mound to give the appearance of a single story structure sat atop a small hill. Above the undulating roof is a horizontal half-cylinder, which provides storage for museum pieces. The logic for this move was that the high water-table on the site would make the common practice of placing storage in a basement too much of a risk.

在题为“全球化时代的建筑宣传”的论文中，阿里·D·塞利格曼(Ari D Seligmann)描述了Yatsushio博物馆是如何与伊藤的“风系列”相契合的。伊藤的“风系列”是80年代末和90年代的一批建筑-包括风之塔-他的主题是“短暂和开放”。博物馆还发展了他在他的私人住宅，银小屋的结构风格。

In his thesis "Architectural Publicity in the Age of Globalization", Ari D Seligmann describes how the Yatsushiro Museum fits into Ito's 'wind series', a collection of buildings - including the Tower of Winds - in the late 80s and 90s where his main themes were "transience and openness". The Museum also develops the structural style which he used in his personal home, the Silver Hut.

同为日本建筑师的久马对博物馆表示赞赏，称它“不仅是对西方”重而强“的建筑模式的批判，也是对那些与日本传统精神相去甚远的简单的”日本传统“建筑”的批判。

Fellow Japanese architect Kengo Kuma praised the museum, saying that it was "not only a critique of the 'heavy and strong' Western model of architecture, but also of these simplistic 'traditional Japanese' buildings, which are far removed from the true spirit of Japanese tradition."
