When did the aesthetic appreciation of excavated artifacts begin, and when did excavated artifacts begin to appear in artworks? The story of how Taro Okamoto and Isamu Noguchi "discovered" the aesthetic value of excavated artifacts, which had previously been treated as archaeological materials, after the war has become legendary. The very clear binary opposition of "Jomon vs. Yayoi" developed into the so-called "tradition debate" among people involved in architecture and art in the mid-1950s. However, since the modern era, these two are not the only people who have focused on artifacts dug up from the ground. Excavated artifacts have sparked cultural phenomena in a wide range of fields, not only in art, but also in crafts, architecture, photography, film, theater, literature, traditional performing arts, thought, and even television programs. Why did the excavated artifacts attract so much attention at one time, how did their reputation spread, and why did artists become so passionate about unearthing the artifacts? This exhibition focuses on art, tracing the genealogy of "excavated motifs" that have emerged on the stage of cultural history from the Meiji period to the present, while exploring the changes in the way people have looked at haniwa, earthenware, and clay figurines. By unravelling history and learning about its complex subtleties, the cultural and social "strata" that lie beneath our feet will emerge.

Best Things to Do

Night view

川流不息1980

The Tokyo Skytree, also known as the Sky Tree, resembles a tree towering into the clouds. Standing at approximately 634 meters, it&#39;s worthy of being the world&#39;s tallest tower and third tallest building. While it&#39;s less impressive from a distance than from a close distance, it&#39;s spectacular during the day, but not as vibrant at night. From the observation deck, you can enjoy a vibrant night view of downtown Tokyo. 👍

Apparently there won&#39;t be a dolphin show after the renovation, so I went to see it for my kids before then.The stage is small, so the distance is very close, and it&#39;s very impressive.The inside of the building is small and seems to be suitable for toddlers to elementary school students.

Actually, there is a WING building opposite the Takanawa exit of JR Shinagawa Station. Just walk straight inside from the building and the outdoor escalator. The adult ticket on site is 2,500 yen/ticket. The price on Ctrip is still slightly cheaper. It is effective immediately after buying on site. Just scan a code for one order. After entering, there is an indoor pirate ship on the right hand side (500 yen/time, and then follow the route in the museum. There is also a paid carousel on the left hand side). The route is planned. You can&#39;t go back halfway because the escalator is not open. The dolphin show is quite interesting, mainly divided into the main and supporting roles, and there are lights and other blessings. The gift hall at the end is also very cute. Overall, it is still worth a visit.

Tokyo Tower

You still have to walk a distance after getting off the subway. It&#39;s still quite hot in summer. It&#39;s a free landmark that can be viewed from a distance. The red and white colors match the blue sky very well. It&#39;s also nice to see the tower around the corner. The night view should be very nice when it&#39;s lit up at night. I&#39;ll come and see it next time.
