This exhibition is the first curatorial collaboration between the National Art Center, Tokyo and M+. It presents a historical survey of Japanese contemporary art between 1989 and 2010, bracketed by two major events in Japan’s recent past: the end of the Shōwa era (1926–1989) and the beginning of the Heisei period (1989–2019), and the Tōhoku Earthquake in 2011.The exhibition traces a trajectory of contemporary art in Japan beyond national and territorial frameworks, evolving through a rich array of international exchanges. Structured as two intertwined strands of iconic works of art and stories of lesser-known projects by artists during this period, the exhibition features Japanese artists living inside and outside their native country alongside works by international artists. It paints a picture of Japanese contemporary art as a complex, porous network of cultural dialogue and engagement, providing an alternative view to the established narrative of national singularity.The exhibition shows how Japanese contemporary art during this critical transitionary period examined and tackled major subjects, such as the nation's historical legacy and multiplicity of identities, while proposing possibilities of alternative communities. It also underscores the wide influence of Japanese art and visual culture in the first two decades of contemporary globalisation.

First step on: the experience is much better than the Sky Tower~ Whether it is the density of people, the degree of panoramic viewing, or the overall feeling of the indication signs of the key buildings is still very shocking, even for tourists like us from Beijing. The surrounding area is endless, and you can even see Mount Fuji when the weather is good. The security check is very strict, all things that will be blown can not be brought, and there are many security on the rooftop. Everyone must pay attention.

Advantages
1. It is much smaller than Shanghai, and the entrance is shorter than Shanghai. The security check is simple and you can bring a small stool. The commercial street is not big, so it is actually OK to walk
2. There is a small lake and an island made into a primitive forest to connect the adventure and western parks, and then various equipment shuttles in it, including electric boats, elevated trains, large cruise ships, electric rafts, and multi-person paddles
3. The float parade, which can improve satisfaction through operation, is very well done, including a big white bumper car, which is not high-tech, but because of DJ and music, it has become one of the most popular amusement projects
Disadvantages
1. It may be built in the 1980s. You can clearly feel the desire to reproduce the great adventure and mining feeling of the American Midwest. In the past two years, except for the Tomorrowland Park, the other IDs are relatively early. The protagonists in the store are still Mickey Mouse and his friends. There are not many new ID dolls.

In short, the experience is better than that of Shangdi. Dongdi is small and finely operated, allowing you to enjoy the fun of an entertainment park with your body and physical strength. Shangdi has new amusement equipment and ID, but the park is too big and the commercial area is made particularly large to allow you to shop. It is difficult to walk and the large flow of people leads to strict management requirements and insufficient efforts in fine operations that satisfy users. To put it bluntly, it still has no worries about customers.

Be there early to get the morning queue. Map is confusing for first timer if you have somewhere you already want to go. Honestly it&rsquo;s okay to just go on the first ride u see and take. But remember to research where to go prior. Do download Disney app to check on the updated queue. There was the 40th anniversary event which we manage to snatch an express ride for free. That was really great. Otherwise prepare to wait an average of 20-110 minutes per ride. Food is decent too.

The scenery is really good, the photos are taken, there are more people in line, but the guidance of the staff is in order. Special thanks to one of their staff, my ticket was accidentally lost at the 350m sightseeing place, and later I don&#39;t know if it was a tourist or a staff member who helped me find it, otherwise I would have to spend more money to buy tickets to 450m.
