New Epos Card from Tokugawa Art Museum

The Tokugawa Art Museum, renowned for its extensive collection of treasures linked to the Tokugawa shogunate, is set to launch a new Epos Card design in collaboration with Marui Group on April 17, 2026. This card aims to promote cultural preservation through everyday shopping.

What is the Tokugawa Art Museum Epos Card?

The museum houses valuable artifacts, including armors, swords, and historical documents that are recognized as national treasures and important cultural properties. To preserve such items for future generations, continuous funding and support are essential. Marui Group has been actively involved in social contribution initiatives, and the collaboration with the Tokugawa Art Museum aims to create opportunities for customers to contribute to cultural heritage protection effortlessly. By signing up for the Tokugawa Art Museum Epos Card, users can play a part in this worthy cause without additional effort in their daily lives.

Every time someone applies for a new card, 1,000 yen will be donated to the Tokugawa Art Museum. Users can also donate their accumulated Epos Points from their shopping activities, making contributions simple and integrated into their everyday spending. Additionally, this new card design introduces a system where 0.1% of the amount spent using the card will be automatically donated to the museum, allowing for a natural method of supporting cultural preservation.

New Card Designs

The new designs are inspired by two significant pieces held by the museum: the armor of Tokugawa Ieyasu and the sword used by Oda Nobunaga, building a connection between users and historical artifacts. This card not only serves as a means of financial support but also allows users to appreciate the beauty of culture every day.

New Member Benefits

To celebrate the launch, customers who apply for the card and use it to spend a total of 30,000 yen (tax included) within three months of activation will receive a set of three non-commercial clips designed as a special gift. For those opting for the existing "Tokubigumi" design card, a different member benefit awaits — those spending 10,000 yen (tax included) in the same timeframe will receive a special charm and pin badge.
