The romance of ancient times is here! Discover the world of Haniwa and Bronze Ware at the Tokyo National Museum

At the Tokyo National Museum, the "Haniwa" and "Bronze Ware" you encounter are like time capsules filled with the beauty and craftsmanship of ancient Japan! ⏳✨

First, the Haniwa. Their simple yet somehow humorous and charming forms leave an unforgettable impression once you see them!
Horses, soldiers, dancing figures, houses—these various shapes of Haniwa quietly tell the stories of the lives and prayers of people from the Kofun period. Some even have such unique poses that you can’t help but think, "Wait, what’s with that pose!?"—making them endlessly entertaining to look at! 🐴🏺

And the Bronze Ware is just stunningly beautiful in design…! ✨
The bronze bells and swords from the Yayoi period were sacred items used in religious ceremonies and festivals. The intricate patterns covering their surfaces evoke a connection with nature and the gods, making you gaze in admiration.
The polished metal’s shine coexists with the aged patina of verdigris, truly embodying “ancient works of art”! 🗡️🔔

The exhibition rooms have calm lighting, allowing you to fully savor the atmosphere of ancient times, which is a big plus. After enjoying Asian culture in the Toyokan, experiencing Japan’s roots in the Honkan will surely bring new discoveries!

Even if you’re not good with history, it’s okay. See, feel, imagine. Take a little time slip into the world of ancient beauty♪🌿🕊️
