At a Glance
The National Crafts Museum is a museum of Japanese crafts in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, and part of the National Museum of Art. It opened here in October 2020 after moving from Kitanomaru Park in Tokyo, where it had first opened in 1977. The move was part of the government policy of regional revitalization.
The museum occupies two Western-style buildings of the Meiji period, the Old 9th Division Command Headquarters of 1898 and the Old Army Generals Club of 1909. Both were moved, reassembled and restored within Kanazawa. They stand in Honda-no-mori Park, just south of Kenroku-en, and the galleries themselves are a newer addition. The collection holds about 4,000 crafts and design works from the Meiji era onward. It includes pieces by holders of the title Living National Treasure and Suzuki Chōkichi's Twelve Hawks, an Important Cultural Property.
