Shigemasa was an active painter during the late Edo period, with Kyoto as his base. He is believed to have originated from Shiga or Kaga, and worked for the Arisugawa-Nomiya and Endo families, among others. He is known for his expertise in painting tigers, and the vibrating brushstrokes that characterize his work are evident in this illustration.

View the original at Japan Search →Article 2 defines a museum as an institution that collects, keeps and displays materials on history, art, folklore, industry and natural science for public use, carries out research on them, and which has been registered under Chapter 2 of this Act. The registration is not decorative. In law, an unregistered collection open to the public is not a museum.
The cool part. The definition of keeping is given as including raising. That single parenthesis is why a zoo, an aquarium and a botanical garden sit inside museum law in Japan: the collection is allowed to be alive. Article 1 also grounds the statute in the Social Education Act and the Basic Act on Culture and the Arts, which places museums in education first and culture second.
