Marking the 30th anniversary of its opening this year, The Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan* (East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, Tokyo) — currently undergoing renovations to expand its capacity — is commemorating a partial opening of a new facility with a long-running exhibition — about eight months long — that highlights the artistic treasures it houses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Sannomaru Shozokan<\/strong>: In 1989, the first year of the Heisei era, the then Emperor (currently, Emperor Emeritus) and his mother Empress Kojun (1903-2000) donated the artistic treasures — more than 6,000 paintings, calligraphy, craft, etc. — that had been passed down in the Imperial Household up until Emperor Showa’s time (1926\u201389) to the Japanese government. Sannomaru Shozokan was opened in the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace in November 1993 to store, preserve and exhibit these items. The collection gradually grew as other members of the Imperial Household left or donated their precious belongings to the state, the number of items held by the museum now reaching about 20,000. The museum has been closed since 2019 for renovations to expand its storage and exhibition space, but will partially open a newly built facility for the upcoming exhibition. Renovations are due to be completed in 2026.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Part 2 (Jan 4\u2013Mar 3, 2024), now running, will bring the viewers attention to the modern art and craft by renowned artists that adorned the interior of the Imperial Palace during and after the Meiji era (1868-1912). Among the 60 or so works on display are “Land of the Rising Sun, Japan” by nihonga<\/em> (Japanese-style painting) artist Yokoyama Taikan (1868-1958), who is said to have painted nearly 2,000 paintings of Mt. Fuji in his lifetime, and “Bugaku Dancer, Ranryo-o” — a designated important cultural property — by metal artist Unno Shomin (1844\u22121915). Objects made on celebratory occasions in the Imperial Household and items closely associated with the emperors and empresses of the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras are also showcased during this term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
