Asakura Museum of Sculpture, Art museum in Yanaka district, Japan
The three-story museum displays bronze sculptures, paintings, and pottery within a combined Japanese residential area and Western-style studio space.
The building served as residence and studio for sculptor Fumio Asakura from 1908 until his death in 1964, before opening as a museum in 1967.
The museum contains an extensive library of artistic volumes, traditional Japanese gardens, and multiple exhibition spaces showcasing naturalistic sculpture techniques.
Located at Yanaka 7-18-10 in Tokyo, the museum operates from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM, with admission fees of 500 yen.
