Tokyo Fuji Art Museum
Tokyo Fuji Art Museum was established by Daisaku Ikeda and opened near the Sōka University campus in Hachiōji, Tokyo, Japan, in 1983. The new wing was added in 2008. The collection of some thirty thousand works spans the arts and cultures of Japan, Asia, and Europe, and the Museum takes touring exhibitions to other countries.
Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a holocaust museum in Los Angeles, explains that the center collaborated with the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum on an exhibition titled Friedl and the Children of Terezin.
The exhibit featured the artwork of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis—Bauhaus paintings, theater sets, costume designs, and book bindings produced when she instructed children imprisoned in the ghetto of Terezin, a Czech town near Prague. It was seen by over 350,000 people in Japan.
