※The museum is temporarily closed from June 10, 2024 ( Mon.) to September 6, 2024 ( Fri.).
The Nomura Art Museum is located in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto. The museum was established in 1984 by NOMURA Tokushichi II (née Tokuan), the founder of the Nomura Zaibatsu, based on his collection of tea ceremony and Noh plays.
Mr. Nomura, a businessman and modern sukishya (tea ceremony master), had a deep knowledge of the tea ceremony and Noh, and his collection focuses on tea ceremony and Noh as its main themes. The museum's collection consists of tea ceremony utensils, Noh masks, Noh costumes, and about 1,900 items, including seven Important Cultural Properties, nine Important Art Objects, and a posthumous work by Tokuan.
The Nanzenji area where the museum is located is a calm area, so a stroll along the Philosopher's Path, Eikando, and other nearby spots is recommended.
