Housed in a striking, angular metallic building designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kazuyo Sejima, the Sumida Hokusai Museum celebrates the life and genius of Japan’s most renowned ukiyo-e master. Visitors can explore a rich collection spanning Hokusai’s legendary career, including iconic works from his 'Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji' series alongside detailed exhibits illustrating traditional woodblock printmaking techniques. A standout feature is the lifelike animatronic recreation of an elderly Hokusai painting intently in his studio alongside his daughter. With rotating special exhibitions on complementary artists, it offers a fascinating and compact dive into classic Japanese visual culture.
