With the addition of the International Research Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region, which was established in October 2011, the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage now comprise a total of seven separate institutions. Japan’s cultural properties are the precious assets of the Japanese people. In order to preserve and utilize these properties more effectively and efficiently under unified management, each ofthe seven existing institutions plays the following roles: Tokyo National Museum Kyoto National Museum Nara National Museum As Japan’s foremost museum in the The Kyoto National Museum collects, Nara National Museum collects, pre- humanities field, Tokyo National Mu- preserves, manages, and exhibits serves, manages, and displays cultural seum collects, preserves, manages, cultural properties, while also properties, while also conducting re- and displays cultural properties from conducting research and providing search and providing educational pro- across Japan and other Asian regions, educational programs.

  • The Finest of Chinese and Japanese Calligraphy
    Twin Peaks: The Finest of Chinese and Japanese Calligraphy In this unique exhibition, works by Wang Xizhi, Ouyang Xun, Su Shi, Kukai, Ono no Tofu, Hon'ami Koetsu, Ryokan and others transcend time and distance to appear together in one showing. Calligraphy is well known as one of the most beautiful arts to emerge from East Asia. The ideograms which first saw the light of day in ancient China, besides fulfilling their basic function as a means of writing, have always taken into account the esthetic aspect too. Brought to their first artistic peak by Wang Xizhi/₺⟺ਯ and other masters, they were carried on throughout long centuries, surviving changes of dynasty and the rise and fall of different peoples and developing a wide expressive potential in the process. From the first transmission of Chinese ideograms (kanji in Japanese), the calligraphy of Japan naturally showed a strong influence from China, but the decline of the Tang dynasty and the weakening of its influence eventually led to the emergence of what might be called a genuinely Japanese style. Moreover, experiments with means of writing the Japanese language using kanji led to the devising of a uniquely Japanese phonetic syllabary known as kana, which in time developed a graceful, delicate world of its own. From then on, a succession of calligraphic styles evolved. In addition to this, it should be noted how the flourishing of Zen and Confucian studies in Japan led to fresh, major influences from China. By bringing together outstanding works from both countries, the forthcoming exhibition will present a survey of the history of calligraphy in China and the development of the Japanese calligraphy that evolved a unique world of its own under the influence of the former.
