Mithila Museum, Art museum in Tokamachi, Japan.
The Mithila Museum exhibits 2,000 artworks in a converted schoolhouse, including Mithila paintings, Warli paintings, and Indian terracotta statues from various regions.
Tokio Hasegawa established the museum in 1982 after collecting 80 Madhubani paintings brought by students from Bihar, India to preserve this traditional art form.
The museum displays 36 original works by master painter Ganga Devi and houses a collection of 109 terracotta pieces donated by the Government of India.
Visitors can reach the museum by taking the Jo-etsu Shinkansen to Echigo Yuzawa, followed by a bus to Tokamachi and a 15-minute taxi ride.
The museum provides accommodation and support for Indian artists who create new works using a special pseudo-wall material developed specifically for Mithila painting techniques.
