★★★★★2 months agoVery beautiful, and the documentary exhibited about the life of Yanagi Soetsu and the Museum’s art collection is very moving :’)
Nathan Jones
★★★★★7 months agoSeverely underrated and beautiful museum 15 minutes from Shimokitazawa. Half the items seem to be on sale, which is an interesting concept... Much better than the crafts stores in Shibuya :)
