Tokugawa Art Museum

Tokugawa Art Museum

The Tokugawa Art Museum is an art museum located in Nagoya City that broadly introduces Japanese history and culture. It opened in 1935 and showcases over 10,000 valuable items, primarily focusing on treasures from the Owari Tokugawa family. Among these is the national treasure "Tale of Genji Emaki," which is highly regarded for its excellent state of preservation.

The museum consists of nine exhibition rooms, each designed with a different theme. The permanent exhibition hall features a collection of masterpieces across five rooms, where displays include reproductions of armor, tea ceremony settings, and a Noh theater stage. Exhibits are periodically changed to match the seasons, offering new discoveries with each visit.

There are also many special exhibitions and planned events, such as the annual "Special Public Viewing of the Tale of Genji Emaki" and "Owari Tokugawa Family Hina Matsuri," which focus on traditional Japanese culture.

Together with the adjacent Tokugawa Garden, it is a place where visitors can feel the depth of history and culture. The collection includes many national treasures and important cultural properties passed down through the Owari Tokugawa family, recognized for its unparalleled quality and quantity in Japan.

Items such as the short sword "Hōchō Masamune," various weapons, tea ceremony utensils, and artworks that have been cherished by the Owari Tokugawa family across generations are preserved in excellent condition. Being able to appreciate such a valuable collection is a unique charm of the Tokugawa Art Museum.
