Suntory Museum of Art

One of three art museums that form a triangle in the Roppongi district, this institution focuses on traditional Japanese decorative arts, presenting lacquerware, ceramics, glass, textiles, and paintings under the theme of art in everyday life. Relocated to a wood-and-paper-inspired building designed by a leading contemporary architect, it favors intimate, changing exhibitions drawn from its refined collection and outside loans. A tearoom and shop extend the experience, and its location within a large complex makes it a convenient cultural stop.
