Kōjirō Matsukata
was a Japanese businessman who devoted his life and fortune to amassing a collection of Western art which, he hoped, would become the nucleus of a Japanese national museum focused particularly on masterworks of the Western art tradition. Although his plans were not realized in his lifetime, his vision is commemorated in Japan's National Museum of Western Art (NMWA) in Ueno, central Tokyo.〔( NMWA collection )〕

(2001). ( ''The Spirit of Capitalism: Nationalism and Economic Growth,'' p. 341. )〕 head of Kawasaki Dockyards from 1916 through 1923.
The financial success he enjoyed in the early part of the century was affected adversely by economic downturns in the 1920s and 1930s; but much of his art collection remained intact despite the collapse of his business interests.〔
