About
The Japan Folk Crafts Museum (Japanese: 日本民藝館, Hepburn: Nihon Mingeikan) is a museum in the 4th city block of Komaba, Meguro Ward, Tokyo, Japan, dedicated to the collecting, preserving, researching, and exhibition of the hand-crafted art of ordinary people, mingei, often translated as folk crafts. Access is from Komaba-Tōdaimae Station of Keio Inokashira Line.
The museum covers 1,818 square meters and was constructed with a traditional Japanese architectural style. A 'long' stone-roofed gate-cum-residence (nagaya-mon) was brought from Tochigi Prefecture and reconstructed in front of the building.
