Minato, Tokyo / 東京都庭園美術館
Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum
The museum is housed in the former residence of Prince and Princess Asaka. During a long stay in France from 1922 to 1925, at the height of Art Deco, they were captivated by the style and asked the French decorative artist Henri Rapin to design the main rooms of their new home. Built by architects of the Imperial Household Ministry with traditional Japanese craftsmanship, the residence was designated an Important Cultural Property in 2015 as one of the high points of the ministry's residential architecture. It is surrounded by a Japanese garden.
