Hoki Museum, Art museum in Asumigaoka, Midori-ku, Japan
Description
The Hoki Museum is an art museum in Asumigaoka, Midori-ku, Japan, dedicated to realist painting and housing the largest collection of such works in the country. The galleries span three floors and display over one hundred permanent paintings selected from a holding of five hundred pieces by Japanese artists.
History
The building, designed by the architectural firm Nikken Sekkei, opened on November 3, 2010, as Japan's first institution devoted solely to realist painting. The founder assembled his private collection over decades and created a space to promote this artistic movement.
Culture
The collection features works by 60 Japanese artists, including Morimoto Sosuke and Noda Hiroshi, who create detailed oil paintings reflecting their precise observations.
Practical
Visitors reach the museum by taking the JR Sotobo Line to Toke Station and continuing by bus to the Asumigaoka Higashi 4-chome stop. The building features gently curved corridors and accessible spaces for all guests.
Did you know?
The architecture relies on curved walls and strategically placed windows that connect views of the green surroundings with the exhibition rooms. Some galleries appear to float above the ground, creating an impression of lightness despite the heavy steel construction.
