This article lists the Cultural Properties of Japan designated as Important Cultural Properties (重要文化財, Jūyō Bunkazai) that are paintings (絵画, Kaiga) located in Kagoshima Prefecture. This designation is made by the Japanese government according to the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties (文化財保護法, Bunkazai Hogohō). The paintings listed showcase examples of religious icons, portraits, landscapes, and other genres significant to the cultural and artistic heritage of the region. This listing includes both privately and publicly owned properties. Specific details on each painting, such as artist (if known), date of creation or period, dimensions, and current location are typically available from the Agency for Cultural Affairs or the individual institutions holding the properties. The designation of an item as an Important Cultural Property indicates that it is deemed to be of particular historical, artistic, or scholarly value, and is therefore subject to preservation and protection efforts. These paintings offer valuable insights into the historical, religious, and artistic traditions specific to Kagoshima Prefecture and its place within the broader context of Japanese art history.
