\u25a0 Exhibition structure and main exhibits<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25c7 Chapter 1 People<\/p>\n

In Chapter 1, we will focus on crafts related to kings and influential people who ruled ancient societies in various places.
\nThe king statue, the gorgeous accessory, and the items specially made for funerals, all of which are precious materials processed with high technology.
\nIf you compare the displayed works, you can see that each culture has different tastes and designs.
\nOn 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25c7 Chapter 2 God<\/p>\n

People have performed rituals and prayed to please the gods.
\nChapter 2 introduces works related to sacred rituals and gods and spirits created by ancient cultures in various regions.
\nIt was not easy for ancient people to run a stable society.
\nA 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.
\nThis is the background behind the exhibition work of Chapter 2.
\nThere 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.<\/p>\n

\u25c7 Chapter 3 Nature<\/p>\n

How have people recognized the natural world?
\nIn Chapter 3, we will focus on this theme and display crafts that mainly resemble animals.
\nThe people of all ancient societies used nature and the power of gods by using animal-like vessels and accessories.
\nFor example, wild animals with large horns such as goats are said to symbolize the strength of nature.
\nThe sacred animal statue associated with the gods was believed to have sacred power.
\nWhen comparing the displayed works, various appearances and expressions of animals are cut out for each work.
\nThe diverse works tell us that there were different natural environments in each place and that people’s interests differed depending on the culture.<\/p>\n
