==History== thumb|left|Feliks Jasieński aka "Manggha", the founder of the collection (Portrait by Leon Wyczółkowski, 1911) In 1920, Feliks Jasieński—critic, writer and collector of art, whose penname was "Manggha"—donated his collection of artworks connected with Japan to the National Museum in Kraków. He was a patron of the arts who also helped composers such as Jadwiga Sarnecka publish their works. After his death, the museum’s collection was not exhibited, one reason being the lack of space to arrange the 6500 items. The lone exception was an exhibition in Cloth Hall of Kraków in 1944, organised by the Germans, who occupied Poland at the time. A young Andrzej Wajda saw the exhibition and became fascinated by Japanese art.
