Hana Usui

The manggha Museum of Japanese Art & Technology houses the National Museum’s Japanese artworks, consisting mostly of the Feliks “Manggha” Jasieński collection. The museum was established on the initiative of the renewed Polish film director Andrzej Wajda and his wife, Krystyna Zachwatowicz, who donated, for this purpose, the Kyoto Prize awarded to Wajda in 1987 for his life’s achievement as a film and theatre director. The wave-shaped museum building on the banks of the Wisla river in Crakow, just opposite Wawel Hill, was designed by prominent Japanese architect Arata Isozaki. The manggha Museum remains the largest such institution in the whole of Central and Eastern Europe. www.manggha.krakow.pl
