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.

Nice kid experience and it was fun! The transport to the venue also very convenient. One drawback is the queuing time almost 1 hour per game if it is a Japan public holiday.

Sea is much more fun than Land. I regret not going directly to sea. I can also buy seven treasures to limit all new projects in the new courtyard. It is really worth it. It is worth two brushes. The photos are not stopped.

The Ctrip ticket cannot be refunded or changed, and the time is so accurate. If there is an emergency or force majeure, it cannot be changed. Even when I first arrived in Japan, I had to reserve time to find the way. I thought there would be no tickets during the May Day holiday, so I bought it in advance. In fact, there were still many tickets left the day before. There was no need to buy so many days in advance. It was too inflexible. As for the park itself, there is less interactive fun. It is all about explaining knowledge related to film production. Unless you are a Harry Potter fan, there is no point in coming to play.

It is the highest in Tokyo. The weather was very good on the day we went. We could go upstairs after 10 minutes of queueing downstairs. On top, we could see Mount Fuji in the distance. The nearby Tokyo Bay was shining in the sun.
