[1] The museum, in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan, is known for its collection of 20th-century art and includes Western-style and Nihonga artists.
The collection contains many notable Japanese artists since the Meiji period, and a few contemporary Western prints.
In the early years of the 20th century, Matsukata Kojiro collected Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints which had been scattered throughout the world.
The 1925 exhibition of the woodblock prints Matsukata collected abroad is thought to have been the first of its kind in Japan.
Its official name is still the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo Craft Gallery.
