The special exhibition "The Great Edo Almanac" will be held from (Tue) 30th June to (Sun) 30th August. It was scheduled to be held from 21st April to 14th June, but we change the exhibition period, which will be held from 30th June to 30th August. If you have an advance ticket, you can use it from 30th June to 30th August, so please come and visit us.

 Exhibition Concept

We sense the annual rhythms of life through events that occur at set times each year. Back in the Edo period, in Hokusai’s day, people also experienced the course of the year through participating in similar annual events. In this exhibition, we focus on annual events in introducing the customs of the Edo period as Hokusai and his students depicted them. Hokusai and his students give us an intimate sense of a year in Edo as it was over a century and a half ago. We hope that you enjoy exploring the events throughout the four seasons with Hokusai's works. A glorious almanac presenting the year in Edo awaits you.

 Exhibition Highlights!

All these events were carried out with prayers of many sorts, for a peaceful year or the healthy growth of children, embedded in their performance. Let’s explore events throughout the four seasons with Hokusai's works!
