The D. T. Suzuki Museum in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, was designed by Yoshio Taniguchi and opened on October 18, 2011. It is dedicated to the life, writings and ideas of D. T. Suzuki, the Buddhist philosopher born in Kanazawa. The article names no client, style, materials or construction dates.

The floor area is 631.63 square meters (6,798.8 sq ft). The article describes a contemplative space that overlooks the Water Mirror Garden. It gives the address as 3-4-20 Honda-machi.

The article is short. It does not say who owns the museum, what is on display, or when the building is open, and it gives no admission fee. Its history begins with the 2011 opening, so this record rests on that brief text and the architect's name.
