📸 Tokyo! Where Kazuyo Sejima’s Light Meets Katsushika Hokusai 🌊✨
Friends! I’ve discovered a hidden gem of Tokyo’s artsy side! 🌊✨ This time, I visited the Sumida Hokusai Museum, where I was not only captivated by Kazuyo Sejima’s architectural beauty but also got up close and personal with the master of ukiyo-e! 📍 Location Guide 1-1 Kamezawa, Sumida-ku, Tokyo; a 9-minute walk from Ryogoku Station on the subway. ⏰ 10:00-17:00 (Closed on Mondays) 💰 Admission: 650 yen (students get a 50% discount) 🌟 Highlights Spoiler 🌇✨A must-see for architecture fans! Designed by Pritzker Prize winner Kazuyo Sejima, the shimmering aluminum panels reflect the sky, making the building look like a vanishing box. Even on cloudy days, it has its own soft-focus filter! 📐 🌊✨ The entire museum spans four floors, with exhibits mainly on L3 and L4, showcasing Hokusai’s life and works. During the New Year period, there were displays about Japanese New Year customs. 🌊 🌇✨The top floor’s floor-to-ceiling windows face the Tokyo Skytree directly—a perfect spot to capture Tokyo’s old and new landmarks in one frame! 🗼 #Tokyo #HiddenGems #ArtAndArchitecture 🌇✨
