EXHIBITS

Built in 1982, the museum building was originally the private residence of Toru Kumon, before being converted into a museum in October 1998. The museum's prize exhibit is a selection of the original worksheets that Toru Kumon made by hand for his son Takeshi, which formed the basis for the Kumon worksheets in use today. We welcome visitors to tour the museum to learn about the essence of Kumon and take time to contemplate ideal education.

Long Service Honor Roll

The Long Service Honor Roll was established in honor of the many Kumon Instructors and employees who have provided guidance for their students and contributed to the development of the Kumon Method down through the years.

The names of those who provided their invaluable services for 20 years or more before retiring up to March 2005 are inscribed on a series of marble panels on display in the museum garden. Since April 2005, the Honor Roll has continued as a series of leather-bound bronze plaques contained in a wooden display cabinet in the museum reception area.

The first names on the marble panels are those of Toru and Takeshi Kumon, the very first Kumon student and Instructor. To this day, just as those who paved the way before us, we at Kumon continue to undertake the task that they began.
