Works from Edo to Meiji period, which is said to be during the Industrial Revolution in Japan, along with contemporary works, are exhibited at the Mitsui Memorial Museum.
During the Edo period, which lasted more than 250 years, many handicrafts flourished against the daimyo, and the works began to be exported from the late Edo period to the Meiji era, and many of these crafts are famous overseas.
It delights our eyes with a wealth of themes, such as ceramics, wood carving, fangs, and free figurines (crafts where many animals are the theme and all joints move freely).
It seems that many of the themes of these works are familiar, and if you look at the items on display, you can see that there are many things that are familiar to you.
Japanese spiny lobster, mantis, birds, toads, cucumbers, cherry blossoms, swordfish, snakes, tomatoes, persimmons, grapes, matsutake mushrooms, etc.
→It is on display until December 3.
