  •    

    Japanese Gallery (Honkan) Room 15
    November 30, 2004 (Tue) - March 6, 2005 (Sun)

    The gallery allows a remarkable insight into the material cultures of Ainu and Ryukyu that had blossomed on the Japanese islands, enabling a re-evaluation of their richness. This exhibition consists of various weaving tools, garments and cloth woven with them, swords, wooden bowls and other daily utensils to introduce the Ainu people's life in kotan.
