The Japan Folk Crafts Museum (日本民藝館, Nihon Mingeikan) is a museum in Komaba, Meguro, Tokyo, Japan, dedicated to the hand-crafted art of ordinary people (mingei).Access is from Komaba-Tōdaimae Station of Keio Inokashira Line.

The museum was established in 1936 by Yanagi Sōetsu, the founder of the mingei movement; Hamada Shōji succeeded him as its director.[1][2] Yanagi and Hamada officially announced their desire to establish a folk crafts museum in 1926.[3] Construction began on the museum in 1935 and was completed in 1936.[3]

The museum covers 1,818 square meters and was constructed with a traditional Japanese architectural style. A 'long' stone-roofed gate-cum-residence (nagaya-mon) was brought from the Tochigi Prefecture and reconstructed in front of the building.[3]
