Cherry blossoms can only be seen for a few days each year and are a well-known symbol of spring in Japan. The annual event Cherry Blossom Viewing at the Tokyo National Museum features famous works of art celebrating cherry blossoms. Make the most of springtime in Japan at the Tokyo National Museum!
*We have decided to suspend the workshops, gallery talks, and other related events this year to prevent the further spreading of the new coronavirus (COVID-19).
*All the works are in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum.
