In ancient China, where advanced civilization developed, various cultural artifacts were created using excellent technology, and many of them were decorated with designs that are novel and stimulating even to modern eyes. What kind of thinking was behind the creation of these designs, which seem far removed from our sensibilities?
This exhibition will introduce the sophisticated design sense of ancient China and the myths and worldview that formed its background, focusing on masterpieces of bronze mirrors owned by the Izumiya Hakukokan Museum (Kashigatani, Higashiyama, Kyoto). We will then interpret the background of the designs from four main perspectives: "Animals/Plants," "Astronomy," "Tanabata," and "Longing for Taoist Immortals," and also introduce the influence they had on Japanese art.
In addition, some of the works exhibited at the "Izumiya Biennale," a collaboration between contemporary metalworkers and ancient Chinese bronze vessels held at the Izumiya Hakukokan Museum (Kashigatani, Higashiyama, Kyoto) in 2021 and 2023, will be exhibited for the first time in Tokyo.

Very good. Under normal circumstances (not raining), you can go to the top floor to experience it. The environment is very good. A simple meal of 50-100 (voluntary) is barely acceptable. The taste is great. If you encounter bad weather, you can get a full refund. Highly recommended

Dongdi is so fun, I am happy every time I go there! There is no problem with the Ctrip ticket, and I entered the park as smoothly as I booked it on the official website. Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story are the best ~ Monsters, Inc. is also good ~ I am so happy to catch the theme activities of Duck Duck!

The scenery is very beautiful. When I met Conan activities, there were staff wearing doll clothes to accompany the photo ～, but it was a little smaller than I thought. The overall was very good. The staff were very enthusiastic and the elevator was very fast!
