The museum of Hotel Okura (Shukokan)
The showcase of Okura Oriental art is located in annex Shopping Arcade in Hotel Okura. http://www.okura.com/tokyo/index.html
The excellent articles that we recommend are exhibited though it is small space.
We will take order on phone or e-mail, and those items are able to be sold of course. (The items always changes).
Our shops are ten minutes on foot from this hotel. It will arrive in five minutes if the taxi is used.
Back in 1917, an avid collector of Buddhist artwork by the name of Kihachiro Okura established, on his own land, a museum in which to hold and display his treasures. Over the years, this collection was added to by his son, the founder of Hotel Okura, Baron Kishichiro Okura, whose interests included modern Japanese painting, or Nihonga. Today, the Okura Shukokan Museum of Fine Arts houses some 2,000 items and 35,000 volumes — a collection that contains a number of officially registered National Treasures, Important Cultural Objects, and Important Art Objects.
