Frommer's Review
This is one of Tokyo's best private art museums, with a small but impressive collection of French Impressionist art, as well as Japanese paintings in the Western style dating from the Meiji Period onward. Since there are only 10 small rooms of displays, it makes a quick and worthwhile 1-hour detour if you're in the vicinity. The permanent collection, comprising 500 works shown on a rotating basis, includes works by Monet, Manet, Degas, Sisley, Cézanne, Pissarro, Renoir, Corot, Gauguin, van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, Modigliani, and Rousseau, as well as Japanese painters Asai Chu, Kuroda Seiki, Aoki Shigeru, Kuniyoshi Wasuo, and Saeki Yuzo. Special exhibitions, which draw large crowds, are mounted four times a year.
