    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 39 items, which were newly designated as Important Cultural Properties in 2011, including Mother and Child, By Uemura Shoen (Important Cultural Property). We hope you enjoy the rare opportunity to see these important items.
