    Important Cultural Property is the status given to paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, calligraphy, books, documents, historical materials, archaeological objects, and buildings that have been deemed culturally or scientifically important to Japan. They are designated by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as items of national heritage that should be preserved for future generations. From among these, items that are inherently superior or have a high artistic value are designated as National Treasures.

    This exhibition contains 37 items, which were newly designated as either National Treasures or Important Cultural Properties in 2010, including Materials Related to Ino Tadataka (National Treasure). We hope you enjoy the rare opportunity to see these important items.
