The Tokyo National Museum Hyokeikan in Ueno will be hosting an exhibition called "Ukiyo-e Contemporary," focusing on ukiyo-e prints by contemporary artists. The exhibition will run from April 22 to June 15. Japanese woodblock printmaking techniques developed uniquely during the Edo period, producing ukiyo-e prints as a flamboyant art that reflected the society and customs of the time. The works of artists such as Toshusai Sharaku, Kitagawa Utamaro, and Katsushika Hokusai are characterized by their intricate carvings and vivid colors, and their outstanding techniques have been passed down to the present day and continue to fascinate many people. In this exhibition, a total of 85 artists influenced by the expression of traditional woodblock prints will work as contemporary artists with the carvers and printers of the Adachi Institute of Woodblock Prints to create new "contemporary ukiyo-e." Participating artists include Mizuki Shigeru, Umezu Kazuo, Anno Moyoco, Ishinomori Shotaro, Awazu Kiyoshi, Asaba Katsumi, Sato Koichi, Matsunaga Makoto, Tanaka Ikko, Kurokawa Kisho, Ay-O, Wada Makoto, Hundertwasser, Kusama Yayoi, Yokoo Tadanori, Tanaami Keiichi, Kato Izumi, Shiota Chiharu, Nawa Kohei, Rokkaku Ayako, Hanai Yusuke, Lee Ufan, Antony Gormley, Kiki Smith, N.S. Harsha, Nick Walker, James Jean, Alex Dodge, and KYNE.

So many exhibitions! Interesting to learn about the historical Japanese paintings, armours, and fabric design. Best to reserve at least 2-3 hours in order not to rush through the exhibitions.

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 :)

Scan the code to enter the park is particularly convenient, with water and food is not in charge, popular projects are queued for 40 minutes, ordinary projects are queued for 5 minutes, the staff are particularly warm and friendly, experienced more than 10 projects a day, 9 am to 9 pm, the temperature difference is not small, it is still very cold at night

A perfect sunny day to visit DisneySea. Crowded as usual but not too bad on a Tuesday as it was recommended from the articles and tiktok they shared. But for those who wants smooth day and take all the rides, you have to download the TokyoDisney app to purchase Disney Premier Pass/ take our luck with 40th anniversary pass and for those to who has Disney accounts ( especially to anyone who are using Disney+ accounts), highly recommended to fully set it before arriving at the park. Cause we struggle that when we enter the pass, and we have to be quick to enter our card details, then realise one of us did not set it up properly. Of course at the end, we manage it, and the good thing about it we can save bank details and yet the app will ask us to approve the purchase everytime we do so. Food mobile order is also highly recommended... save a lot of time. Overall, it was an amazing day for Disney maniacs like us.

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.

Tokyo Skytree

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!
