History and collections
[edit]Sen-oku Hakuko Kan Museum was established in July 1960.[1] "Sen-oku" is the Yagō of the Sumitomo family in Edo period, and the word of "Hakuko" was taken from the famous antique book "Sen-na Hakuko Zuroku" (宣和博古図録)" edited in the Northern Song dynasty under Emperor Huizong of Song.
The collection was brought together by Sumitomo Kichizaemon VII before his death in 1926. It is credited with being one of the greatest collections of Asian bronzes in the world in quality and variety. The number of collections is more than 500 pieces.[2] The museum houses more than 3,500 cultural objects, two of which have been designated by the Japanese government as National Treasures, 19 as Important Cultural Properties, and 60 as Important Art Objects (ja).[3]
