The Ishibashi Foundation’s mission is to build bridges of cultural understanding between societies, and between the past and the present, with the vision and will to create a better future for all. Through our museums, our mission is to provide people with an environment dedicated to the appreciation of beauty-a place where they can experience and be inspired by the creative forces that guide the course of human history. Through our grant programs, our mission is to support artistic, cultural, and educational initiatives aimed at the development of a more caring and humane world.
To realize our philosophy, “For the welfare and happiness of all mankind”, we provide opportunities for “experiencing creativity” in our museum programs and support activities “aiming to develop a more caring and humane world” through our grant programs.
