| Many Japanese lost sight of their cultural heritage in their headlong Westernization
that followed the Meiji Restoration of the late 1860s. Yanosuke Iwasaki,
the second president of Mitsubishi, and his son Koyata, the fourth president,
collected books, artworks and other cultural treasures systematically to
help safeguard that heritage. Seikado houses their collection of 5,000
works of art in a museum. The museum displays its treasures to the public
in a year-round program of exhibitions.
