The Museum of the Oriental Art Edoardo Chiossone in Genoa is the most important museum of its kind in Italy. The painter Edoardo Chiossone who was the native of the province of Genoa who lived many years in Japan, he left his large collection counting over 15,000 pieces of Oriental art to the Museum. This amazing museum includes Japanese works from various epochs like paintings from the eleventh to the nineteenth centuries, armors and arms, enamels, japans, ceramics, porcelains, musical instruments, polychrome prints, theater masks, costumes and textiles, as well as bronzes. Also worthy of note is the rich collection of large sculptures from Japan, China, and Siam. An extremely rich and valuable collection of Japanese and Oriental art collected in Japan during the Meiji period by Edoardo Chiossone is now housed in the Villetta Di Negro.
