Both dining experiences include tickets to the upcoming exhibition titled "Twilight, New Printmaking – From Kobayashi Kiyochika to Kawase Hasui," running from February 19 to May 24, 2026. Each plan is limited to just 15 guests per event, ensuring a personalized experience.
The Grandeur of Mitsubishi Ichigokan
Mitsubishi Ichigokan, designed by renowned architect Josiah Conder, exemplifies red-brick architecture reflecting the grandeur of the Meiji era. The current structure has been faithfully restored according to Conder's original designs, using preserved materials wherever possible. It stands not just as a museum but as a testament to the craftsmanship and architectural innovation of its time.
The events of 2026 promises to be extraordinary, especially with the temporary exhibitions that will draw upon the museum’s impressive collection alongside artifacts from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Asian Art. This provides an insightful overview of the influence of landscape printing and the transition of Japanese art through history.
