Toguri Museum of Art

 

The Toguri Museum of Art, a public interest incorporated foundation, opened in November 1987 on the former site of the Nabeshima family residence in Shoto, Shibuya Ward, with the aim of permanently preserving and widely exhibiting the works of art, primarily ceramics, that its founder, Toru Toguri, collected over many years. The collection mainly consists of Hizen porcelain such as Imari and Nabeshima, as well as East Asian ceramics from China and Korea. It operates as one of the few museums in Japan specializing in ceramics and holds four special exhibitions annually.
