In this video, we will explain the special exhibition "#Haniwa" commemorating the 50th anniversary of the designation of "#Keiko Warrior" as a #NationalTreasure. This "Haniwa Exhibition" will be held at the #TokyoNationalMuseum from October 16 to December 8, 2024, and at the #KyushuNationalMuseum from January 21 to May 11, 2025. 🌟 #Haniwa are unglazed #pottery products that were arranged upright in #kofun, the tombs of monarchs in ancient Japan. In Japan during the #KofunPeriod, from the 3rd to 6th centuries, in each period and region, haniwa depicted motifs that conveyed the people surrounding those in power and their daily lives. 🌟Haniwa motifs include not only people, but also cylindrical shapes, houses🏠, boats, animals like dogs🐶 and horses🐎, swords, armor, helmets, and weapons like shields. In addition to realistic ones, highly "deformed" ones were also created. 🌟To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the designation of the "Haniwa Warrior with Armor," considered to be the greatest masterpiece of haniwa, as a ✨National Treasure✨, a special exhibition was held in which about 120 haniwa pieces from all over Japan and the United States were gathered together. This special exhibition is the first time in 50 years that the Tokyo National Museum has featured haniwa. 🌟In this video, we will introduce the overview of the exhibition while highlighting representative works from the works exhibited in this notable #HaniwaExhibition. 📝By the way, I thought that if I entered the venue at 9:30 on the first day, it would still be empty, so I arrived in front of the Tokyo National Museum at 9:15 in the morning, but there was already a long line in front of the gate waiting for the museum to open...
