تأسس Japan Folk Crafts Museum (Nihon Mingeikan) عام 1936 على يد الفيلسوف والناقد Yanagi Soetsu، الذي صاغ مصطلح «مينغي» (الحِرفة الشعبية) احتفاءً بجمال الأشياء اليومية المصنوعة على نحو مجهول. ويضم المتحف، الذي يحتل مبنى يابانياً تقليدياً نُقلت إليه بوابة من عصر ميجي من Tochigi، نحو 17,000 قطعة، من بينها الخزف والمنسوجات والأعمال المطلية باللك والأشغال الخشبية من اليابان وخارجها. وتستضيف صالات العرض الرئيسية معارض خاصة متغيرة، إلى جانب عرض أصغر من مقتنيات المجموعة الدائمة. أما المبنى الغربي المجاور، وهو مقر إقامة Yanagi السابق، فيفتح أبوابه للزوار في أيام محدودة.
