Toguri Museum
This art museum which opened in 1987 in the Shoto district of Tokyo’s Shibuya City displays collections of Oriental porcelain collected by businessman Toru Toguri. There are approximately 7,000 pieces in the museum’s possession, which are primarily Hizen porcelain from Japan such as Imari and Nabeshima, and Oriental porcelain from China to Korea. The museum hosts special exhibitions four times a year. There are also a lounge that allows patrons to rest while gazing out at the refined garden and a museum shop on the premises.
