Terunobu Fujimori X Akira Yamaguchi Explore! Tokyo National Museum

Treasures to be Found, Full of Sightseeing

Opened in 1872 (Meiji 5), the Tokyo National Museum boasts a collection of over 110,000 items. As Japan's oldest museum, the Tohaku boasts the highest quality and quantity in Japan. This book, guided by architect Terunobu Fujimori and painter Akira Yamaguchi, thoroughly explores the museum's appeal from the two pillars of "art" and "architecture." This comprehensive guide explores the museum's charms through the "Tohaku Selection," where visitors can choose their favorite exhibits from the vast collection based on their own unique perspective, a special tea room tour, and behind-the-scenes access to exhibitions, preservation, and restoration, as well as the director's office.
