Art Collections of Tokyo International Forum
“A Boat of Diversity”

The overall theme for this collection is "A Boat of Diversity." This image likens the architecturally symbolic element of the Glass Hall to a large, transparent boat anchored to the middle of the opaque, heterogeneous sea that is Tokyo. This clear glass boat is a vessel for receiving the diverse cultural phenomena of Tokyo and the coming cultural diversity of the world. The collection and installation of art is undertaken in a manner that reflects this idea. In order to create a collection both diverse and yet possessing a certain degree of consistency, we took the following points into consideration.

The collection will not follow the concept of incorporating the art of Japan and other Asian countries into the context of Western art.
The works of art will be selected through a consideration of the possibility of mutual dialogue between them, and the diversity of this potential, so that when they are installed they will not simply exist as separate, unrelated units.
The works of art will be selected through a consideration of their inherent ability to communicate with people through the evocative power of their images, and to offer a broad range of possibilities for dialogue with people.
The International Forum is an architectural space informed by a sense of transparency and geometrical functionality. The works of art will be selected through a consideration of their ability to harmonize with this space while at the same time creating a space that is highly imaginative and sensitive in terms of culture.
Works of art from Western and non-Western cultural spheres will be selected through a consideration of their inherent capacity, from their respective standpoints, to accept different cultures.
