Sumida Hokusai Museum
Hokusai moved house nearly 90 times in his life, mostly within a two-kilometer radius of Sumida. He wasn't erratic — he was mapping the district through habitation.
Museum dedicated to Hokusai, who spent most of his life within walking distance of where the building now stands. The neighborhood context is as important as the collection.
