Bunkatsu, a cultural property utilization center of the National Organization for Cultural Properties, is a video content “A GLIDE ON THE GREAT WAVE ～Experience Japanese Culture at TNM Was produced. From July 1, 2020, a free screening will be held in the Tokyo National Museum.
A journey begins to discover the charm of Japanese culture while dynamically sliding like a roller coaster through the world of “Kanagawa Okiura” drawn by Hokusai Katsushika.
A variety of cultural assets that rush in one after another like a wave are a collection of masterpieces that represent national treasures and other collections of the Tokyo National Museum!
At present, the capital city of Tokyo and the town of Edo depicted in Ukiyo-e may seem like a different world. However, no matter how the times or the cityscape changes, the activities of people who enjoy the beautiful nature and traditional events of the four seasons, and the unique aesthetic sense of Japan that has been nurtured in those days, will continue without change.
The 10-minute gliding experience invites you from the Tokyo National Museum, the gateway to Japanese culture, to an endless journey exploring the attractions of Japan.
