Nezu Museum, Art museum in Minami-Aoyama, Japan.
The Nezu Museum exhibits over 7,400 cultural artifacts, including paintings, calligraphy, sculptures, ceramics, textiles, and archaeological specimens from Japan and East Asia.
Following the death of businessman Kaichirō Nezu in 1940, the museum foundation started public exhibitions in 1941 and protected its collection during World War II.
The museum collection includes seven National Treasures, with the centerpiece being the Irises folding screen by Ogata Kōrin, acquired by Kaichirō Nezu in 1914.
The museum reopened in 2009 with a new building designed by architect Kengo Kuma, featuring modern exhibition spaces integrated with traditional Japanese garden landscapes.
The institution houses one of Japan's largest collections of sword fittings, containing 1,200 pieces from the original 3,000-piece collection of Meiji industrialist Mitsumura Toshimo.
