This exhibition is the first curatorial collaboration between the National Art Center, Tokyo and M+. It presents a historical survey of Japanese contemporary art between 1989 and 2010, bracketed by two major events in Japan’s recent past: the end of the Shōwa era (1926–1989) and the beginning of the Heisei period (1989–2019), and the Tōhoku Earthquake in 2011.The exhibition traces a trajectory of contemporary art in Japan beyond national and territorial frameworks, evolving through a rich array of international exchanges. Structured as two intertwined strands of iconic works of art and stories of lesser-known projects by artists during this period, the exhibition features Japanese artists living inside and outside their native country alongside works by international artists. It paints a picture of Japanese contemporary art as a complex, porous network of cultural dialogue and engagement, providing an alternative view to the established narrative of national singularity.The exhibition shows how Japanese contemporary art during this critical transitionary period examined and tackled major subjects, such as the nation's historical legacy and multiplicity of identities, while proposing possibilities of alternative communities. It also underscores the wide influence of Japanese art and visual culture in the first two decades of contemporary globalisation.

The park is very big and the new park is open. We went there on Thursday. There was no need to queue to enter the park, but there were still long queues for popular projects. We played the other way and had very short queues for unpopular projects. Most restaurants in Japan require reservations, which is very unfriendly. We basically couldn&#39;t get into the restaurants we wanted to go to without reservations. In summary, it was a little more fun than Shanghai, but we needed to lower our expectations to increase the experience. It was easier to queue for many projects after 5 pm.

The tram to Toyoshima Garden is painted with a Harry Potter pattern. The restaurant in the park is tall, and the butter beer is must-drink, which is very special. The magic wand college robe is more authentic here (compared to other parks, personal views).

The most Iconic place to go in Tokyo, recommend to there around the sunset time and you could see both sunsets and night view at the same time.
