I would consider the hook fact ("museum holds a
National Treasure of Japan"), which is referenced to an external source), reason enough for notability. How else could I prove notability?

The
guidelines say: Notability requires only that these necessary sources have been published, not that the names of these sources have already been typed into the article., so I assume it would be sufficient to mention a couple of independent RS for notability here instead of putting them in the article. So here it goes:
this website published by Visitingarts (which is funded by various UK Arts councils).
I focused on English language sources only, but of course there are many more in Japanese. Five independent reliable sources should be more than enough to establish notability, I believe.

I don't see in-depth coverage but passing mentions (and a brief profile that shows existence but nothing else). I agree that it is probably notable, but this has to be shown beyond a shadow of a doubt before appearing on the Main Page. If it were put up for AFD while on the main page, someone would have our heads. The Japanese sources are fine.

How about:
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5] ? They have most/all info (and a bit more) that is also in the article.

The Nikken Times source looks decent, as does the Asahi (via Gtranslate). Add those as references to information they support (or add from them) and I will be happy to give this a tick.

You're welcome to help out with this kind of thing, too, rather than telling people they have to do work not actually required for DYK. Demanding that others do everything before you'll deign to support a nomination which clearly met all the criteria before any of these additional sources is a bit much, don't you think? The museum is clearly notable for the hook contents alone, and there is absolutely no requirement that the article be sourced up-the-gills before it can be included or approved here. ···

As implied by the fact that I used GTranslate, I do not speak Japanese; I would not feel comfortable adding information using the so called "translation" it gives. Regarding notability, DYKs must also comply with existing guidelines and policies, and
WP:N is a big one; seeing as their is no guideline for museums, the fact that it houses a national treasure of Japan would be a possible indicator of notability, but not necessarily a guarantee. I'd rather we get any questions out of the way now than have to deal with it at an inopportune time.

Additional references have been added to better indicate notability. AGF on Japanese sources.
