Sumida Hokusai Museum
The Sumida Hokusai Museum is an art museum in Tokyo's Sumida ward dedicated to the ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Opened on 22 November 2016, it holds more than 1,800 items related to Hokusai, including paintings, sketches, prints and personal belongings. The building, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kazuyo Sejima, features five interlocking volumes clad in reflective aluminium panels. The museum was established to honour Hokusai, who was born and spent most of his life in the Sumida area. The site was once part of the Tsugaru clan's residence during the Edo period, and local tradition holds that Hokusai painted a folding screen for the clan there. The museum offers temporary exhibitions, a library, a lecture hall and a museum shop. Current and upcoming exhibitions include 'Best of Sumida Hokusai Museum' and 'Hokusai Crossover'. Opening hours are 9:30 to 17:30, with last entry at 17:00.
