The Nezu Museum’s collection largely centers on a core of tea ceremony utensils, Buddhist art works, and ancient Chinese bronzes collected by Nezu Kaichirō Sr. (1860-1940). In subsequent years various generous donors have donated or bequeathed art works to the museum, ranging across all media and periods, including Muromachi ink paintings, Heian-Kamakura period calligraphy, Korean ceramics, Japanese Hizen porcelains, and pre-modern Japanese decorative arts. These works have added to both the breadth and depth of the museum’s holdings, making the collection all the more fascinating, all the more complete. The collection includes 7 works designated by the Japanese government as National Treasures, 87 works designated Important Cultural Properties and 96 works designated Important Art Objects. More than 1,800 works have been donated or bequeathed to the museum; this is a rare accomplishment for a Japanese private museum and stands as a measure of the great trust placed in the institution.
