What meanings does the word “nostalgia” have? Nostalgia is what we feel when recalling things now lost or places and times we can never revisit. We may also get a feeling of wistfulness, similar to nostalgia, when looking at a photo or painting of a scene that is new to us. Through paintings, prints, photographs, and drawings held in the collections of Tokyo Metropolitan museums and administrated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Collection, this exhibition traces Japan’s changing landscapes from the early 20th century to the present, in order to ponder the character of the “nostalgia” people have discovered in them. The nostalgia manifest in works by artists such as Kawase Hasui and Domon Ken is liable to touch anyone, even if the times they portray differ entirely. The “nostalgia” of Taisho- and early Showa-era scenes, lost in Japan’s rush to modernize, and the “nostalgia” of the American culture sweeping the nation after the war can touch us in same way as the “nostalgia” of townscapes that fell to homogenized redevelopment in Japan’s period of rapid economic growth. Our thoughts of bygone days encourage us to reflect meaningfully on our lives, feel empathy for other people, and sustain hope for the future. This exhibition, by showing the diversity and constancy of “nostalgia,” offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on themselves as members of today’s turbulent society.

Shibuya Sky &mdash; это не просто смотровая площадка, а захватывающий взгляд на Токио с высоты 229 метров. Здесь город кажется бесконечным, особенно если брать билеты на закат.#токио2025 #путешествиевяпонию #triptotokyo @zapiski_ne_yaponki

夏夏要努力！

There are not many people in May, and some projects have been closed. Reasonable time arrangement, basic projects have been played, 3 cruises have been watched, and there is an hour of photo time. The castle show at night is very beautiful, but the app is difficult to use.

My experience is. The small train in the park is one-way, so you must think about whether you want to go to the next destination. For Chinese who don&#39;t speak Japanese, there is no need to watch many performances. I really don&#39;t understand. There is a project called &quot;Geoheart&quot;, don&#39;t take a mobile phone to shoot. There is a feeling of a roller coaster in a moment. If you want to play well, it is best to buy a few projects. And you have to buy early, there are some projects that will no longer sell USpeed Pass at 4 or 5 pm.

The Skytree went up for the second time! Very beautiful! It is worth going up in the evening, you can see both the daytime scenery and the night view. In a way, the night view is more beautiful! Looking forward to the next tower!
