Seiji Togo Memorial Sompo Japan Museum of Art

poster for Seiji Togo Memorial Sompo Japan Museum of Art

Museum in The Shinjuku area

The museum's core collection is comprised of the works of Seiji Togo, a noted Japanese artist. Sympathizing with its aspirations of creating an art museum that would not only provide an opportunity for the general public to enjoy quality works of art but contribute, at the same time, to cultural improvement, Togo donated some 200 of his own works to the museum, along with his collection of over 250 works by other Japanese and foreign artists.

Togo's works, painted between 1914 and 1977, are on display in the museum throughout most of the year offering a comprehensive and in-depth perspective of the unique style and the wide range of activities of one of Japan's most important Western-style artists. Displayed alongside the Togo collection are other important modern and current works by Japanese and foreign artists, as well as periodic exhibits aimed at promoting art and international exchange.
