Located on the grounds of The Okura Tokyo, the Okura Museum of Art is Japan’s first private art museum. The museum was established in 1917 by Kihachiro Okura as a permanent home for his collection of premodern Japanese and East Asian art, which includes three National Treasures and 12 Important Cultural Properties. Designed by early-modern architect Chuta Ito, the current building was constructed in 1927 and has since been expanded and renovated.
