Fujita Museum
Denzaburo Fujita, an Osaka businessman and the founder of Fujita Museum, collected a wide range of paintings, Buddhist statues, and ceramics during the chaotic times of the early Meiji period out of concern for threats facing cultural assets, such as the abolition of Buddhism and their being exported overseas. The collection has become one of the foremost of its kind in the world, with its pieces designated as national treasures and important cultural properties. It has been on view to the public at Fujita Museum since 1954. Denzaburo Fujita's collection of tea ceremony utensils was delivered by Rogin Toda, the eighth generation of Tanimatsuya, and so the relationship with the Fujita family is one that has lasted from the Meiji era to the present.
