Tsutaya Juzaburo (1750-97), a prominent publisher in the Edo period, is known for publishing Ukiyo-e artists such as Kitagawa Utamaro and Toshusai Sharaku, who are now considered world-class artists.
This exhibition takes a close look at Tsutaju's activities, showcasing the diverse culture of Edo, focusing on the Tenmei and Kansei periods (1781-1801).
With the red-light district and kabuki of Edo as his backdrop, Tsutaju deepened his friendships with kyoka poets and comic poets during the rise of kyoka poetry. He expanded his network of samurai, wealthy townspeople, popular actors, comic poets, and artists in every direction, linking various fields and introducing various new ideas to the publishing industry through a kind of media mix.
Tsutajyu used his business acumen to endlessly innovate the content business. What is rooted in this is a thorough user (consumer) perspective, and the vitality with which he pursued things that people would enjoy and find interesting.
This exhibition is in collaboration with NHK's 2025 taiga drama "Berabou: Tsutaju Eika no Yumebanashi," which will feature Tsutaya Jusaburo as the main character. Through a look at Tsutaju's publishing activities along with aspects of the Edo cityscape, visitors will be able to experience not only the part Tsutaju played in the publishing culture of the late Edo period, but also the values ​​and artistry that he created.

The buildings and the architecture were amazing! The history behind every item and art in the museum was so exciting. I recommend this place if you have an interest in history and you have a lot of time for exploration. I bought a university student ticket at the entry for 500 yen. I had to show my student id card. I recommend you do the same if you are a university student.

Однозначно маст хэв в Токио! В ясную погоду видно гору Фудзи. Рекомендую брать закатное время, так можно увидеть город при дневном и ночном освещении.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo - The Making of Harry Potter

A must for Harry Potter fans! It could be a little tiring as the studio is hugee so best to allot your 1 day for it. It took us 4-5hrs to complete the tour. Out tour was packed, so I suggest searching for the best time and day. But nonethless, it&#39;s as if you&#39;re really in the magical world. 🥹

Went to the Tokyo Skytree during the Jujutsu Kaisen event collaboration and it was an experience for fans of the anime. Went there at night and it was even better, with the night sky view of almost 360deg surrounding the tower. There was also an aquarium housed in the tower and although it was considered on the smaller side, it was well worth the visit.
