The Gotoh Museum (五島美術館 Gotō Bijutsukan?) is located in Tokyo and features classical Japanese art. One of the most important items are illustrated handscrolls of The Tale of Genji dating to the 12th century. They used to be the property of the Hachisuka family. The scrolls are very fragile and are listed as a one of National Treasures of Japan.
