Known forHokusaiukiyo-eSumidawoodblock
A beautifully designed Kazuyo Sejima building dedicated to Katsushika Hokusai, who was born and lived most of his life in the Sumida area. The permanent collection traces his entire career with rotating originals, high-resolution reproductions, and interactive displays that make his technique genuinely accessible. It is affordable, rarely overcrowded, and deeply rooted in the local neighborhood. Combine it with a walk along the Sumida River for a full half-day.
