Fondé à partir de la collection de l’homme d’affaires Nezu Kaichirō, Nezu Museum présente depuis 1941 des œuvres d’art japonais et est-asiatique prémoderne. Son bâtiment de 2009, conçu par l’architecte Kengo Kuma, enveloppe une galerie de deux étages, coiffée d’un vaste toit de tuiles, autour d’une allée bordée de bambous. La collection, qui compte plus de 7 400 objets, comprend sept Trésors nationaux, dont les paravents pliants Irises d’Ogata Kōrin, ainsi que des bronzes chinois, des céramiques, des calligraphies et des objets en laque. Le jardin japonais du musée, d’une superficie de 17 000 m², avec ses étangs, ses maisons de thé et ses lanternes de pierre, constitue à lui seul un attrait majeur.
