Sumida Hokusai Museum

Sumida Hokusai Museum just opened on November 22 in 2016.
Hokusai Katsushika, world-renowned ukiyo-e (woodblock printing) artist, was born in Sumida city and he spent most of his 90 years life around here.

He created a large number of masterpieces and surprisingly most of the famous ones were drawn after he got 70 years old.

Shiny aluminum walls seem to be closed building but if you get into the slits, open windows are inside of the building. Actually this museum has four separate buildings though it doesn't look so from the outside appearance.
