Kuboso Memorial Museum of Art

About

This museum is a space filled with the sentiment of ancient Japanese culture, where you can feel both the dramatic contrast and the delicacy of East Asian art at once. As you walk through the galleries, a tea bottle from China's Southern Song dynasty catches the eye with a composure that ripples like hope. Lighting flowing along the walls emphasizes the purity of white porcelain, and thousands of artworks seem to flow together like a single quiet river. Among the collection, two National Treasures — the 'Kasen Uta-awase' and the 'Bansei' — continue a storytelling that makes you forget time. Visitors become absorbed as though swallowing the purity of art itself, and this place becomes a mysterious shrine devoted solely to art.
