On February 22, 2020, the Iwatsuki Ningyo Museum opened in the city of Saitama, in the historic ningyo district of Iwatsuki. The Iwatsuki Ningyo Museum collects, conserves, and carries out research on ningyo (human figures) and the culture of ningyo and, through exhibitions and educational activities, carries out programs to enable more people to become familiar with this craft and its culture.
Our goal as a museum is to be a facility that anyone can freely enjoy, to provide an overview of the beauty and history of ningyo, in the context of Japanese culture, and to inform the world about that ningyo culture in all its fascination and depth.
