Sumida Hokusai Museum, Art museum in Kamezawa, Japan
The Sumida Hokusai Museum contains four exhibition floors displaying prints, paintings, and sketches by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai in a modern building.
The museum stands in the Sumida district where Katsushika Hokusai spent most of his ninety years creating numerous masterworks during the Edo period.
The permanent exhibition presents the evolution of Hokusai's artistic career, his connection to Sumida, and his influence on Japanese and international art.
The museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with entrance fees of 400 yen for adults and 300 yen for students, while children under 15 enter free.
The angular metal exterior design by Kazuyo Sejima creates geometric reflections that change throughout the day, making the building appear different at various times.
