The National Museum of Western Art, in Tokyo, is the only work by Le Corbusier in the Far East
![Page 37: Japan30 Tokyo2 Ueno](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/58ab7db51a28ab3e738b4b1f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Kojiro Matsukata (1865-1950) was a Japanese industrialist who amassed a remarkable collection of Western art between 1916 and 1923, particularly paintings and sculptures of the French artist Auguste Rodin (in fact outside the museum one of several replicas of “The Thinker" is displayed. After the Second World War the collection was transferred to the French government. In 1956 Japan requested to France the return of these works, so the French government agreed on the condition that it was a French architect who developed the project of the building to house such works
![Page 38: Japan30 Tokyo2 Ueno](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062417/58ab7db51a28ab3e738b4b1f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The museum for the Matsukata collection was commissioned to the French Swiss architect Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris (known as Le Corbusier), and the project was completed by three Japanese apprentices of his studio in Paris: Kunio Maekawa, Junzo Sakakura, and Takamasa Yoshizaka
Later, in addition to the Matsukata collection, the museum acquired other works, from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries

The Thinker (French: Le Penseur) is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodinl. There are about 28 full size castings, in which the figure is about 186 centimetres high, though not all were made during Rodin's lifetime and under his supervision
