Nakamura Keith Haring Collection in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

Nakamura Keith Haring Collection is a private museum collection of American artist Keith Haring artworks, located in the city of Hokuto, Yamanashi Prefecture of Japan.[1] The museum is the only one in the world dedicated to the work of Keith Haring. The collection is housed in an award-winning museum building,[2] created in 2007 by architect Atsushi Kitagawara, and exhibits the collection of Kazuo Nakamura, CEO of CMIC Group.

In November 2024, Ukrainian-born sumo wrestler Aonishiki was presented with a keshō-mawashi following negotiations between Kazuo Nakamura (director of the collection), a patron of Ajigawa stable, and the Keith Haring Foundation. The apron features Keith Haring's work "Earth, World", originally created in 1985 during the Cold War, representing a desire for world peace supported by people of different races and nationalities, echoing the war in Ukraine and a desire for world peace.[3]
