Sen-oku Hakuko Kan

The Sen-oku Hakuko Kan museum exhibits traditional Japanese and Asian art collections, including ceramics, textiles, lacquerware, and historical paintings.

Established in July 1960, the museum originated from the Sumitomo family's collection of Chinese bronze artifacts dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The museum maintains an extensive collection of Chinese mirrors, bronze vessels, and Japanese art objects that represent centuries of Asian artistic traditions.

Located at 24 Shimogamo Shimomiyanomae-cho, the museum provides guided tours in multiple languages and maintains regular exhibitions throughout the year.

The museum's name combines 'Izumiya,' the Edo-period trade name of the Sumitomo family, with 'Hakko,' referring to an ancient Chinese bronze catalog.
