When did the aesthetic appreciation of excavated artifacts begin, and when did excavated artifacts begin to appear in artworks? The story of how Taro Okamoto and Isamu Noguchi "discovered" the aesthetic value of excavated artifacts, which had previously been treated as archaeological materials, after the war has become legendary. The very clear binary opposition of "Jomon vs. Yayoi" developed into the so-called "tradition debate" among people involved in architecture and art in the mid-1950s. However, since the modern era, these two are not the only people who have focused on artifacts dug up from the ground. Excavated artifacts have sparked cultural phenomena in a wide range of fields, not only in art, but also in crafts, architecture, photography, film, theater, literature, traditional performing arts, thought, and even television programs. Why did the excavated artifacts attract so much attention at one time, how did their reputation spread, and why did artists become so passionate about unearthing the artifacts? This exhibition focuses on art, tracing the genealogy of "excavated motifs" that have emerged on the stage of cultural history from the Meiji period to the present, while exploring the changes in the way people have looked at haniwa, earthenware, and clay figurines. By unravelling history and learning about its complex subtleties, the cultural and social "strata" that lie beneath our feet will emerge.

Because it depends mainly on the weather, I actually planned two trips. I went there at night on the first day. It rained and the outdoor area was closed, which was a pity. But the weather was perfect on the second day! In winter, I recommend tickets from 3-4 pm (if you can book it) because the sun sets at 4:30, so you can see the triple beauty of day, dusk and night in a short time.

朋友们，即刻出发吧！

Tokyo Tower is awesome! The red and white tower is very eye-catching. When you stand in front of it, it is very tall and majestic. You can see Tokyo from the top, including the densely packed buildings, winding streets, and the sea in the distance. It is very spectacular. There are many small shops under the tower, selling a variety of souvenirs. If you come to Tokyo, you will miss it if you don&#39;t come here.

A must-visit in Tokyo, the observation deck on the top floor of Shibuya Scramble Square overlooks the entire Tokyo at 229 meters. It is recommended to go in the evening, as the sun sets and the night view is beautiful!
! Note: You need to make an appointment at least one week in advance, otherwise you won&rsquo;t be able to get an appointment at all! ! Adult: 2200 yen

Just take a photo and punch in. It&#39;s at the Shibuya intersection.
3 busiest intersections in the world
It means that a large number of people pass the traffic lights together, and then the order is in order, which will form a rather spectacular scene.
ici Recommended seat: Go to Starbucks on the TSUTAYA building, overlooking the entire intersection
4 Shibuya Center Street
Diagonally across the Shibuya intersection is Shibuya Center Street, which is home to various brand stores, restaurants, cafes and entertainment venues.

Nice place. It wasn&rsquo;t crowded when we visited the area. We went around 1pm. There were lots of desserts shops. Bought cream puff from creme de la creme. We went to the Mori art museum at roppongi.
