Okura Museum of Art (大倉集古館, Ōkura Shūkokan) is a museum in Tokyo, Japan.[1]

The museum opened in Toranomon, Tokyo in 1917 to house the collection of pre-modern Japanese and East-Asian Art amassed since the Meiji Restoration by industrialist Ōkura Kihachirō. The museum collection includes some 2,500 works, among which are three National Treasures and twelve Important Cultural Properties.[2]

The museum is located within the grounds of the Hotel Okura Tokyo. Closed for renovation since April 1, 2014,[2] the museum reopened alongside the rebuilt hotel in 2019.

History

The Okura Museum of Art was the first private museum in Japan.[3][4] The museum and all the exhibits on display were destroyed in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake although works then in storage survived.[5] The exhibition hall was rebuilt in 1927 by leading architect and architectural historian Itō Chūta and is a Registered Cultural Property.[5][6] The museum collection was subsequently augmented by the founder's son, Ōkura Kishichirō.[2]

Collection

The three National Treasures in the collection are a Heian-period wooden statue of Samantabhadra (Fugen Bosatsu in Japanese) riding on an elephant;[7][8] a scroll painting Imperial Guard Cavalry (Zuijin Teiki Emaki in Japanese) dating to 1247;[9] and a copy of the preface to the Kokinshū attributed to Minamoto no Shunrai.[10] Losses in the 1923 earthquake include one of the dry lacquer statue group of the Ten Great Disciples of which six survive at Kōfuku-ji (National Treasures).[8]
