Idemitsu Museum 2009.11.15




Idemitsu Museum of Arts is a private museum sponsored by Idemitsu Kosan, Japan’s petroleum business company. It exhibits mainly oriental drawings, ceramics and other arts.

Current exhibition focuses Utopia. A Chinese picture shows a dream of an old man. He dreams an ideal situation in the picture and the situation is – to be free from desires and to live peacefully. Other pictures show nature-rich, calm garden as an ideal places. They are places to be found around us. It seems that old Chinese and Japanese say as -- It is a question of our mind to find a Utopia.

It is not allowed to take pictures in the exhibition rooms. Outside the exhibition rooms, there is a Japanese tea room. The evening scene of the Imperial Palace from the museum’s lobby is fantastic.
