Tucked inside Tokyo Midtown, this museum subscribes to the philosophy of 'art in life' — rotating exhibitions spotlight the beauty of everyday objects: Japanese ceramics, lacquerware, glass, and textiles. Architect Kuma Kengo designed the gallery space with understated warmth, using wood and natural materials that let the objects breathe. It's a contemplative counterpoint to the nearby Mori Art Museum's blockbusters, and a reminder that in Japan, a teacup or a length of dyed silk can be just as moving as any canvas.
