A Miniature World x Hyakudan Kaidan
~A Small World Unfolding in a Cultural Property~

Jan 18 (Sat.) - Mar 9 (Sun.), 2025

*Open every day during exhibition period.
The appeal of miniatures, including the fun of seeing familiar things on a smaller scale as well as the world of elaborate technology and playful spirit, transcends time and borders with the power to captivate people.
In this exhibition, a “small world” created in a variety of genres, using different techniques and sensibilities, emerges in the seven rooms of the cultural property Hyakudan Kaidan. Dioramas of Japanese landscapes, fingertip-sized works, as well as miniature Hina dolls and accessories all come together to create a second, miniature Japan within the cultural property.
