The Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, commonly known as Tôbunken, is a major cultural studies center in [[Tokyo]].
The Institute was originally established in 1930, under the name ''Bijutsu kenkyûjo'' (Art Research Institute). It was originally led by historian [[Yashiro Yukio]], who wished to build collections of photographs of artworks, as a resource for arts & culture research. This idea was inspired by his experiences conducting research overseas in London in 1925, and is also said to have been in keeping with the wishes of artist [[Kuroda Seiki]] (d. 1924).
