At the Seikado Bunko Art Museum in Tokyo, I visited an impressive exhibition dedicated to the art and history of Japanese swords. These swords are not just weapons, but also symbols of Japanese culture, embodying hundreds of years of craftsmanship and spirit of craftsmen. Each knife has its own unique history and exquisite craftsmanship. Through the exhibition, one can deeply feel the elegance and power of Japanese swords, as well as their important position in Japanese culture. Whether you are a history buff or just interested in crafts, this exhibition is not to be missed.

📝 Impression notes In the 1880s, Yanosuke Iwasaki, who was a collector, had a plan to create a museum in Marunouchi. It's a wonderful story that a museum was born in Marunouchi after more than 100 years. ✨You can view the works in four galleries, centered around the foyer. I was able to enjoy a beautiful and valuable collection of tea utensils and Rinpa works. ✨ --------------> ☑︎The Seikado Bunko Art Museum in Setagaya has relocated and opened in Marunouchi! ☑︎The exhibition is luxurious, with 7 national treasures including Yohen Tenmoku! ☑︎ Collection collected by two generations of fathers and sons, the second and fourth presidents of Mitsubishi -------------->📷Places where photography is OK☑︎Inside the foyer☑︎Exterior☑︎Shop　⚠️Photography is not allowed inside the gallery--------------> 📍Seikado @ Marunouchi (Seikado Bunko Art Museum)📮1F Meiji Seimeikan, 2-1-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo🚃Directly connected to Niju Maebashi Station⏰10:00-17:00 (until 18:00 on Fridays)❌Every Monday (open on public holidays, closed the following Tuesday) Year-end and New Year holidays, etc. #Free Hong Kong air ticket #Museum tour #Marunouchi #Marunouchi #Tokyo sightseeing
