The 20th Special Triennial Tobi Art Fair will be held from Oct. 14 to 16 at the Tobi Museum in Shimbashi, Tokyo. Held for the first time in 1964 targeting overseas visitors to Japan for the Tokyo Olympics that year, this extremely popular art fair brings together fine artwork carefully selected by the 65 members of the Tokyo Art Dealers' Association, all of whom are experts in a selected field of art.
One of the distinctive features of the event is that you can actually touch, feel and purchase the high-class items that would normally be in glass showcases in museums.
Endorsed by art collectors in Japan and overseas, the fair offers a great opportunity for visitors to encounter masterpieces in the four different genres of "Antiques," "Tea Ceremony Ware," "Modern Art" and "Swords."
