Tokugawa Art Museum

The Tokugawa Art Museum is a private art museum located in Nagoya, Japan. It houses the hereditary collection of the Owari branch of the Tokugawa clan, which ruled the Owari Domain in what is now Aichi Prefecture. The museum's collection contains more than 12,000 items, including swords, armor, Noh costumes and masks, lacquer furniture, Chinese and Japanese ceramics, calligraphy, and paintings from the Chinese Song and Yuan dynasties. The museum also features a beautiful Japanese landscape garden, Tokugawa-en, with a large pond at its center. The garden is best visited during spring and autumn seasons. The museum is operated by the Tokugawa Reimeikai Foundation, which was founded in 1931 to preserve the clan's priceless collection of art objects, furnishings, and heirlooms
