When did the aesthetic appreciation of excavated artifacts begin, and when did excavated artifacts begin to appear in artworks? The story of how Taro Okamoto and Isamu Noguchi "discovered" the aesthetic value of excavated artifacts, which had previously been treated as archaeological materials, after the war has become legendary. The very clear binary opposition of "Jomon vs. Yayoi" developed into the so-called "tradition debate" among people involved in architecture and art in the mid-1950s. However, since the modern era, these two are not the only people who have focused on artifacts dug up from the ground. Excavated artifacts have sparked cultural phenomena in a wide range of fields, not only in art, but also in crafts, architecture, photography, film, theater, literature, traditional performing arts, thought, and even television programs. Why did the excavated artifacts attract so much attention at one time, how did their reputation spread, and why did artists become so passionate about unearthing the artifacts? This exhibition focuses on art, tracing the genealogy of "excavated motifs" that have emerged on the stage of cultural history from the Meiji period to the present, while exploring the changes in the way people have looked at haniwa, earthenware, and clay figurines. By unravelling history and learning about its complex subtleties, the cultural and social "strata" that lie beneath our feet will emerge.

Best Things to Do

Лучшая смотровая в Токио. Правда был ветер сильнейший и было сложно находиться там долго. Лучше выбирать погоду получше. Людей очень много. Если будет дождь, то могут отменить. Нам повезло, так как дождь закончился и случился шикарный закат, а также было видно Фудзи! Я была в полном восторге! Обязательно повторю! Must see в целом :)

It can be said to be one of the must-visit attractions for Disney lovers. You can spend a whole day here. Compared with Disney in other regions, it has great advantages in management and environment. Although it is 43 years old, it is full of vitality.

Got to the park at 3pm (closing at 9pm), but still managed to get onto 7 ride, including the newest peter pan n rapunzel rides. check out the maintenance period for rides (like frozen) so that u wont get too disappointed only to find out that they r closed when u get to the rides.

The second time I came, I didn&#39;t have the freshness of the first time, but the first time I was alone, and I didn&#39;t play the interaction. This time I was with friends and interacted, it was much more interesting. The first half is more interesting, and the second half is a bit boring.

The overall view above the Sky Tower is OK. I didn&rsquo;t encounter good weather on the day I went, so Mount Fuji was invisible. The elevator up was very convenient. The ice cream on the roof was delicious. Because the height of the tower was very high, the buildings below were very small.
