Special Exhibition Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Designation of the Warrior in Keiko Armor as a National Tresure Haniwa
The National Treasure “Warrior in Keiko Armor,” a masterpiece of Haniwa (clay terra-cotta tomb figurine).
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the designation of this haniwa as a national treasure, about 120 selected treasures from all over Japan will be gathered on an unprecedented scale.
From simple and “soft” figures and adorable animals to elaborate armors and houses, this exhibition is full of the charms of haniwa.
This is the first haniwa exhibition to be held at the Tokyo National Museum in about half a century.
There are also various collaborative goods from Felissimo “Museum Club,” “Sumikko Gurashi,” “Hanakappa,” and others!
This is an exhibition not to be missed by those who love Haniwa motifs. There are also interesting goods such as ” Mizura Katusha “.
