Japanese Archaeology and Special Exhibition (Heiseikan) Special Exhibition Galleries
For the first time in fifty years, the Tokyo National Museum is presenting a special exhibition about haniwa, the remarkable tomb sculptures of ancient Japan. These diverse sculptures take the form of people, animals, buildings, tools, and weapons, providing vibrant glimpses into early societies.
2024 is a special anniversary year, as Warrior in Keikō Armor, one of the most finely crafted and well-preserved haniwa in existence, was designated as a National Treasure fifty years ago. In celebration of this anniversary, the Warrior, together with related haniwa and those representing other regions throughout Japan, will be displayed on an unprecedented scale. We invite you to take advantage of this rare opportunity and experience these haniwa first-hand, witnessing how their richly expressive forms range from the rustic to the adorable.
