From the late 1960s to the 1970s, the "underground," commonly known as "angura," took the Japanese art world by storm, mainly in the urban space of Tokyo. The underground, which replaced the "avant-garde" as the gathering point of cutting-edge art, was imported to Japan from the United States through experimental films and spread to fields such as fine art, music, manga, design, theater, and dance, becoming a trend recognized by the general public in just a few years. However, because it was established through its interaction with the anti-establishment movement of the time, it disappeared in the early 1970s as the movement declined. Although it was a short-lived phenomenon, underground culture had a great impact on postwar Japanese society, and it can be said that it remains as a style to this day. In addition, by its very nature, underground culture focused on temporary "events" rather than physical "works," and placed importance on the "places" that welcomed its bearers. For this reason, the underground is seen as the atmosphere of the times, and its actual nature has yet to be clarified. "MAM Research 011: Tokyo Underground 1960s-1970s - A turning point in postwar Japanese culture" will display many materials, mainly ephemera (printed material intended for temporary use), that are suited to conveying the rise and fall of underground culture in Tokyo. Furthermore, by examining these materials, we will attempt to look in detail at the history of "underground," its ideas and those who carried it, as well as its spread and limitations.

The area is very nice and interesting. Need to be on time based on the booked time slot as visitor will enter based on batches .   If you would like dressed up for the tour, can be there early to buy yourself the costume and magic wand . It is very nice experience .

It was last minute decision to go as it was raining all morning but luckily in started to clear up around 2pm. I got combo ticket meaning you will go all the way up to the highest point. Getting ticket from machine was straight forward process. Ride on the elevator was experience on its own as you go up 36km/h. Mt Fuji wasn&rsquo;t fully visible as expected, but cloudy weather made the view much more interesting and dramatic. Worth seeing and spending not more then 30-45min overall.
