Koichi Nezu, director of the famous "Nezu Museum" in Japan, bought Takuma Tanaka's work privately

Last month in October, the director of the Nezu Museum privately purchased a work by Takuma Tanaka

The Nezu Museum is a wonderful art museum with a lush garden just a few streets away from Omotesando Station in Tokyo.

The architecture was designed by Kengo Kuma, one of Japan's leading architects. The museum houses 7,600 works of art, including 7 national treasures and 77 important cultural properties.

The museum is famous for preserving and exhibiting the collection of Japanese and Oriental antiques collected by Kaichiro Nezu (1860-1940), a businessman who served as president of Tobu Railroad Co.

Today, Mr. Koichi Nezu, the third generation and current director of the Nezu Museum, visited us and spoke with us in the studio.

Among the many topics we discussed were Takuma Tanaka's "Human Sushi," "CAPITALISM," and "Cat Rabbit”.

We hope that we were able to convey to you how Tanaka got started in art and what he is currently thinking about.

Takuma Tanaka’s new work, "Ice Cream Series".

We were surprised that Mr. Nezu liked it so much that he purchased it for his own private use.

We are very honored to have someone with so much experience in the art field.
