The Nezu Museum was opened in 1941 to preserve the collection of pre-modern East Asian and Japanese art that was accumulated by businessman Nezu Kaichiro throughout his lifetime. After his passing, his son Kaichiro Jr. established a foundation and later opened the museum in his honor to display his father’s collection of 1860–1940 era artworks. The museum resides on the former Nezu residence and has been expanded several times throughout the years. It started with over 4,600 works and has since grown into just under 7,500 pieces of various genres of pre-modern art, including calligraphy, ceramics, paintings, textiles, armor, metalwork, and more.
