Tsutaya Juzaburo (1750-97), a prominent publisher in the Edo period, is known for publishing Ukiyo-e artists such as Kitagawa Utamaro and Toshusai Sharaku, who are now considered world-class artists.
This exhibition takes a close look at Tsutaju's activities, showcasing the diverse culture of Edo, focusing on the Tenmei and Kansei periods (1781-1801).
With the red-light district and kabuki of Edo as his backdrop, Tsutaju deepened his friendships with kyoka poets and comic poets during the rise of kyoka poetry. He expanded his network of samurai, wealthy townspeople, popular actors, comic poets, and artists in every direction, linking various fields and introducing various new ideas to the publishing industry through a kind of media mix.
Tsutajyu used his business acumen to endlessly innovate the content business. What is rooted in this is a thorough user (consumer) perspective, and the vitality with which he pursued things that people would enjoy and find interesting.
This exhibition is in collaboration with NHK's 2025 taiga drama "Berabou: Tsutaju Eika no Yumebanashi," which will feature Tsutaya Jusaburo as the main character. Through a look at Tsutaju's publishing activities along with aspects of the Edo cityscape, visitors will be able to experience not only the part Tsutaju played in the publishing culture of the late Edo period, but also the values ​​and artistry that he created.

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.

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.

In the East Museum, I first visited the East Museum. The main exhibitions include Chinese, Egyptian, Western Asia, Southeast Asia and North Korea. The most attractive thing for me is undoubtedly a large number of Chinese cultural relics. Chinese cultural relics have five dedicated showrooms, plus some comprehensive and related displays, occupying more than half of the exhibition space. There are prehistoric stone and pottery, bronzes in Shang and Zhou Dynasty, pottery and portrait stones in the Han Dynasty, Buddha statues in the Wei, Jin and North and South Dynasties, gold and silverware in the Tang Dynasty and Tang Sancai, porcelain and calligraphy and paintings in Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing. Dongbo is the most abundant museum in Japan with Chinese cultural relics, some of which have been listed as national treasures or important cultural treasures in Japan. Some of them were circulated to Japan through the millennium friendly exchanges between China and Japan, and some were looted during Japan&#39;s invasion of China.
