About the YOKU MOKU MUSEUM
Please experience Picasso’s creativity through the YOKU MOKU Collection. Filled with an abundance of free-spirited surprises, and allowing for the discovery of art’s power in everyday life — to create such a place is why the Yoku Moku Museum was born. In addition to presenting the Yoku Moku Collection from a variety of different approaches, we organize ‘Art Sessions’ derived from art therapy techniques, this museum’s distinctive ‘Art and Confectionery’ events, and other unique educational programs.
It is not an exaggeration to note that, as though it were stating, “I would like to welcome everyone as though I’m inviting a friend,” this cozy building has emerged in a residential district of Minami Aoyama. On the ground floor, there is Café Vallauris, which offers the Yoku Moku Group’s high-end Un Grain brand’s mignardises (lovely, bite-size desserts) and other pleasures. From the café, you can see through to the museum shop and the library; all of these facilities look forward to your visit.
Mission
Having inherited the notion that “confectionery is something creative,” we seek to give life to a place where, reflecting the abundantly free-spirited approach Picasso took in producing his ceramic art, everyone may encounter surprises and make discoveries.
Vision
• To provide opportunities to increase our creative potential
• To provide opportunities through which, one by one, our latent creative potential may be fostered through a variety of experiences
• To bring art closer together with our everyday lives
• To integrate a place one may freely visit into one’s lifestyle, with refined beauty
• To provide possibilities for bringing together confectionery and art and, in so doing, to be sure, for making artistic contributions, too
