KONRONSHA

Konronsha is a private collection that preserves and manages religious art, ethnographic materials, and natural specimens such as meteorites, gathered primarily from India and the Himalayan regions by its founder, Kazuhiko Tagami.
 

Collected over many years through fieldwork in these regions, these materials constitute primary sources that reflect faith, prayer, and ways of perceiving nature—embodied expressions of what may be called “forms of prayer.”
Within rich yet often harsh natural environments, people have long perceived reverence for unseen forces as “gods,” giving form to their awe through prayer, ritual, and artistic creation. Meteorites, too, as celestial bodies brought to Earth from beyond human comprehension, have been closely intertwined with human culture since ancient times—as objects of worship, symbols, and materials.

A defining feature of this collection lies in its ability to reveal and compare, across regions and disciplines, the traces of how relationships between humans and nature, belief systems, and invisible concepts have been given tangible form.

This website presents a selection of the collection currently preserved and managed by Konronsha.

Over many years, Konronsha has supplied materials to museums and art institutions, including the National Museum of Ethnology and the Tenri Sankokan Museum.

We warmly welcome inquiries from researchers, museum and gallery professionals, and collectors who take an interest in our collection.
 

Note:
By searching for “Kazuhiko Tagami” in the Specimen and Materials Database available on the National Museum of Ethnology’s website, it is possible to view 1,969 catalogued items, primarily Tibetan woodblocks, that have been officially deposited by Konronsha.
 

In recent years, Konronsha has also engaged in initiatives to make its holdings available within academic contexts.
In particular, we have provided image materials and research support for studies in medical anthropology and ethnology.
A selection of mask-related materials from the collection has been referenced in international medical anthropology research projects and formally credited in academic publications as:
