This art museum houses and exhibits tea ceremony utensils collected over 50 years by Yuki Teiichi, founder of the Japanese restaurant Kitcho, as well as tea ceremony and kaiseki ware and art objects. It opened in 1987 in a building constructed on the site of the Kitcho Hirano store, just off Midosuji into Hiranomachi.
