Third Museum Exhibition: Sea Front of Eurasia
2010/05/14
We are pleased to announce the start of our 3rd museum exhibition "Sea Front of Eurasia: Borders of Southwestern Japan."
This 3rd museum exhibition captures southwestern Japan as a “sea frontier” or a zone where people and culture interact beyond the borders. We have on display materials and specimens from the Ryukyu Islands, Daito Islands, Bonin Islands and Tsushima from which we can see a glimpse of their history that transcends the physical boundaries.
This exhibition would like to introduce the history and the daily lives of the people living in border areas in the southern part of Japan. We hope that this exhibition will be a good opportunity for our visitors to reflect on the common features of people living in border areas by comparing their history and lives.
Our aim is to create a new paradigm to consider the world that we live in by helping to link the realities and people’s “emotions” of those living in various border areas.
