The Tokugawa Museum was established by the Suifu-Meitokukai Foundation under the guidance of Duke Kuniyuki Tokugawa the 13th head of the former Mito branch of the Tokugawa Shogun family in 1977.Its opening originates in his donation of hereditary daimyo's (feudal lord's) belongings and archaic writings.
The Museum collection mainly includes extensive holdings left by the first Shogun, Ieyasu Tokugawa, and about 30,000 treasures left by the following: his son Yorifusa; the first lord of the Mito branch; the successive lords descended after the second lord Mitsukuni; and the larger families.
The Museum also exhibits the collection of the Shoko-Kan Library located on site, which contains a draft of "Dai-Nihon-Shi", "The Great History of Japan" as well as 30,000 archaic writings gathered for the compilation of this draft.
The deep significance of these exhibits lies not merely in their historical value, but in their presence in the city of Mito as a premium set of hereditary objects transmitted within the Mito-Tokugawa family. Although, there are various museums throughout Japan, The Tokugawa Museum is one of the handful of private museums, which display a large collection of historical materials relevant to understanding the lives of Daimyo families, especially the Mito Tokugawa family.
