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.

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 that it is one of the must-see attractions for Disney lovers, and you can play here for a day, which has a great advantage in management and environment compared to Disney in other regions. 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 from the top of the Skytree is OK. The weather was not good on the day we went there, so we couldn&#39;t see Mount Fuji. The elevator was fast and convenient. The ice cream on the roof was delicious. Because the tower is very high, the buildings below are very small.
