Tokyo Fuji Art Museum

About

The Tokyo Fuji Art Museum was founded by Soka Gakkai honorary president Daisaku Ikeda and opened on November 3, 1983. It stands in Yano-cho, Hachioji, Tokyo, adjacent to Soka University and Soka Women's College. The collection numbers roughly 30,000 works spanning Japanese, Asian, and Western art. Its Western painting holdings range from 16th-century Italian Renaissance works to 20th-century modern art, and its permanent gallery displays about 100 masterpieces tracing 500 years of Western painting. The museum holds a print of Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa from the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, along with Pierre-Auguste Renoir's After the Bath (1896), Woman Reading (c. 1900), and Woman in Red (c. 1892). A new wing opened in 2008.
