The Kurumada Masami Musuem

Kurumada Masami, best known worldwide for this work Saint Seiya, has a very nice private museum located in his house and studio. Unfortunately the museum is rarely open to the public.   
The collection contains some of his earliest works, like the manga below that he created at age 10 along with Mr. Kurumada's judo uniform.

These nunchaku's were used to draw one of his original characters weapon of choice.


A complete collection of the Saint Seiya toy line.

Hello, ManJoe.

Thanks for the info. I'm travelling to Tokyo next Autumn and I will like to give a try to this Museum. Can you tell me its exact location?

Best Regards.
