Virtual Reality of Japanese Swords

Experience the allure of Japanese swords through a very special VR appreciation featuring a top selection of renowned blades.

Japanese swords are cultural properties that have been safely guarded over generations. Their beauty and craftsmanship, a product of a history spanning a thousand years, continues to be passed down today. In this VR appreciation, two Japanese swords specially selected from the renowned blades in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum are compared. These two swords – the “Mikazuki Munechika” and the “Okadagiri Yoshifusa” – are both national treasures, each with their own distinct characteristics. While this program will touch on some technical aspects you may not be familiar with, it will treat you to a very special appreciation of Japanese swords, the kind that you can only experience at the TNM & TOPPAN Museum Theater.
