Japan’s imperial family and nobility considered poetry an essential cultural pursuit. They competed in poetry contests, communicated with their lovers through poems, and spent countless hours studying and practicing this literary art.
In the mid-900s, a master poet named Mibu no Tadamine wrote an influential guide titled Ten Styles of Japanese Poetry. The original version no longer exists, making the oldest surviving copy, displayed here, a priceless resource for the study of early Japanese poetry.
As the guide shows, the beauty of the calligraphy and paper was as important as the poetry itself. During the papermaking process, an artisan incorporated purple and indigo fibers to create a rhythmic pattern of stylized clouds. Over this, the calligrapher transcribed the guide in elegant script using a soft-tipped brush.

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.

We went to Shibuya Sky in the afternoon and waited until the lights came on at night. It was worth it to enjoy the different scenery during the day and at night. The scenery was beautiful and the mind was very open. It was very artistic to take pictures and videos on the escalator.

It&#39;s ok. If you haven&#39;t been there, you&#39;ll still go there once. Not many people in the morning. People start to come in after 3 pm. There are fireworks in the evening. But I went in at 10 pm and came out around 3 or 4 pm, ^ ^

Dongdi Ocean is really great! Qibao Restaurant pre-booked lunch, you can buy a fast pass once an hour for the project, and you can draw a free one every two hours (basically no more in the afternoon)

Movie fans can really rush in without thinking, the atmosphere is superb. It is recommended that you buy a robe at the entrance before entering and put it on to experience it. For people like us who have just watched the movie, it is also a good place for leisure and entertainment.

It is convenient to get the ticket, and you need to exchange it for a paper ticket. I didn&#39;t feel anything special on the first floor, just a normal street view. It happened to be the last day of the Conan exhibition, so it was nice to walk around, otherwise the top floor would be a bit monotonous. Coming from Sensoji Temple, the transportation is still convenient, you can arrange it together, Sensoji Temple in the morning, eat nearby at noon, and come here around 1 pm.
