The "Japanese Gallery" at the Tokyo National Museum is an inspiring space packed with the finest Japanese art! ⛩️✨
On the first floor, you'll find masterpieces that have walked alongside Japanese history, from Jomon pottery to Buddhist statues of the Heian and Kamakura periods, as well as swords and armor! You'll definitely find yourself thinking, "I saw this in my textbook!" 📚⚔️
Up on the second floor, there are national treasures and important cultural properties like folding screen paintings, scrolls, lacquerware, and textiles. The exhibits change with the seasons, so every visit brings new discoveries! 🎨
The building itself is a highlight, completed in 1938 with a stately early Showa period architecture. The exterior features the Imperial Crown style, while the interior is wrapped in a calm, traditional Japanese beauty, making you feel as if you’re inside a work of art! 🏛️
Not only are there exhibitions, but workshops and gallery talks are sometimes held, allowing you to enjoy the world of "Wa" in an interactive way.
