ASAKURA Museum of Sculpture was once a studio and residence of ASAKURA Fumio (1883-1964), a leading sculptor of modern Japan. The building is now open to the public as a museum exhibiting the collection of ASAKURA's sculptures. Visitors can enjoy viewing the world of ASAKURA and four distinct seasons of Japan.
A Japanese friend introduced us to this amazing museum. Before our visit, we had not heard of the Japanese sculptor Asakura. So our visit was very enjoyable and enlighting. The museum is situated in a small street in a traditional Japanese home, where Asakura once lived. The house is filled with an array of amazing sculptures and art, as well as a pond and a rooftop garden. And it seems that the artist loved cats! The staff had limited English but were kind and helpful. And it was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon in Tokyo. Highly recommended if you enjoy and have an interest in art and history.
