In Chapter 1, we will focus on crafts related to kings and influential people who ruled ancient societies in various places.
The king statue, the gorgeous accessory, and the items specially made for funerals, all of which are precious materials processed with high technology.
If you compare the displayed works, you can see that each culture has different tastes and designs.
On the other hand, in the ancient hierarchical society, the rulers had to actively show their authority, and that every ancient society had a relationship with the dead and the afterlife under a unique view of death and life. You can see the behavior that is common to the ancient cultures.

People have performed rituals and prayed to please the gods.
Chapter 2 introduces works related to sacred rituals and gods and spirits created by ancient cultures in various regions.
It was not easy for ancient people to run a stable society.
A bit of bad weather leads to serious famines, and wars against conflicting cities and other ethnic groups occur frequently. It must have been extremely important.
This is the background behind the exhibition work of Chapter 2.
There were a variety of religions and beliefs in the ancient world, but every member of society was devoted to their survival and social stability, asking about their relationship with the gods.

The people of all ancient societies used nature and the power of gods by using animal-like vessels and accessories.
For example, wild animals with large horns such as goats are said to symbolize the strength of nature.
The sacred animal statue associated with the gods was believed to have sacred power.
When comparing the displayed works, various appearances and expressions of animals are cut out for each work.
The diverse works tell us that there were different natural environments in each place and that people’s interests differed depending on the culture.

“Museum in Asia” is the 6th annual event of the Tokyo National Museum this year.
Set in the “Toyokan” where oriental arts, crafts and archaeological artifacts gather, different themes are set up every year.

This year’s theme is “Love”.
Because love is a fundamental human emotion, its objects and forms of fellowship vary.
There must be individual answers about the relationship between love and sex and the difference between love and love.
This time, as the title of “Love Love Asia” *, we will introduce various works on the subject of love and explore how people in Asia have captured and expressed love more than ever before.

* It is officially written as “LOVE Love Asia” (“Love” is a heart symbol).

The idea of a man and a woman is drawn that if the rooster doesn’t ring, the morning won’t come, and then they can stay together forever.
