Mitsuo Aida Museum

相田みつを美術館

Description

Mitsuo Aida is widely known as a poet and calligrapher who expressed simple phrases in his own unique style. His works depicting the weakness of human beings and their over-dependence on others remain highly popular among people of all ages even after his death. The museum is designed to help visitors enjoy his works and perceive the world of nature that Mr. Aida loved in his lifetime. A new exhibition is held every three months, and you can feel his ”words of life” anytime in the museum. The cafe linked with the main building offers a peaceful atmosphere that you can feel after seeing the works. You can enter the museum shop for free, and it has a variety of goods such as postcards, large square poetry cards and books; daily tear-off calendars with the lines of Mitsuo Aida are the most popular items. The museum is located on the B1 floor of the Tokyo Forum Building and is about a five-minute walk from the Marunouchi South Gate in Tokyo Station.
