2. Works by artists that exemplify new directions in contemporary art

3. Works by Japanese artists and artists from abroad that are in significant relation to works from the Modern period to the present.

4. Works by major artists that reflect style transitions in different periods

5. The Museum has a long-range plan to continue collection of artworks and documents according to the above conditions.

*Generally refers to the Meiji period (1868-1912), but works from the 17th century are included due the influence of the earlier Edo period (1603-1868).
