    This exhibition features 56 select objects that Tokyo National Museum acquired in fiscal year 2025 through donations and purchases. The Museum collects a wide variety of artworks, artifacts, and other cultural heritage ranging from Japan’s prehistory to the 20th century. To present the culture of Japan in a diverse, international context, the Museum is also building collections that represent other regions of Asia.

    The Museum’s latest efforts to enrich its collections are represented through the objects displayed here, all of which provide valuable insights into the cultures of Asia.
