Some 50 works of netsuke selected from Their Highnesses’ donations are on view at the Prince Takamado Collection Room on the 2nd floor of the Museum’s main building.

I strongly recommend this display since you can
see a wide variety of superb contemporary netsuke
by Japanese and non-Japanese artists!
A selection of antique netsuke and inro from the museum collection are also on view on the 1st floor of the same building.
In November 2022, the Museum published a catalogue of netsuke newly donated from the Prince Takamado collection. Click here for details.
Princess Takamado recently published a book. Although the text is all in Japanese, the photos taken by the Princess are fascinating! Click here for more information.
