  • Tokyo National Museum
    Ⅳ Activities of Each Institution TOKYO NATIONAL MUSEUM As Japan’s foremost museum in the humanities field, Tokyo National Museum collects, pre- serves, manages, and displays cultural properties from across Japan and other Asian re- gions, while also conducting research and providing educational programs. The Tokyo National Museum was established in 1872, making it the oldest museum in Japan. We collect, preserve, restore, and display a large number of National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties as well as around 120,000 tangible cultural properties, mainly from Japan and various Asian regions. We also conduct surveys and research in addition to providing educational programs on them. The Museum is working to develop more appealing comprehensive cultural exhibitions by holding seasonal events in addition to its display of collected and preserved works. We also run school programs, guided tours, workshops, and various other programs that help participants appreciate cultural properties while becoming more familiar with and further understanding them through, for example, art-making experiences. Additionally, as Japanese culture attracts global attention, we will play a central role in disseminating it to the world and will strive to become a more appealing museum. To this end, we are formulating and implementing the TNM Plan for a New ERA with the goals of promoting easy-to-understand exhibition commentary and multilingual support as well as creating a comfortable viewing environment. ZENIYA Masami We will continue in our efforts to make the Tokyo National Museum more enjoyable for everyone, Executive Director including children and adults, as well as visitors from around the world.

  • Foreign Relations Between South Korea and Japan During the Asuka Period
    FOREIGN RELATIONS BETWEEN SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN DURING THE ASUKA PERIOD Sightseeing Map A→Umayasaka B→Kasuga Shrine C→Kogenji D→Asukadera E→Asuka Historical Museum ACHIKI （阿直岐）<A> In the 15th year of the Emperor Ojin’s reign (404 A.D.), in autumn, in August, the King of Baekje dispatched Achiki and offered up two good horses as a tribute to Japan, along with him. Then, they were reared in the stable (umaya) atop the hill (saka) of Karu. And, Achiki was entrusted to raise them. Therefore, the place where the horses were raised was called Umayasaka. Achiki also read the Confucian classics well. Then, Prince Uji-no-Waki-Iratsuko took him as his teacher. Now, the Emperor inquired to Achiki, saying, "Is there any scholar superior to you?" He replied, "There is a man called Wani. He is excellent." Then, the Emperor dispatched Aratawake and Kamunagiwake (a male oracle), who were ancestors of the Kamitsuke-no-Kimi clan, to Baekje, to summon Wani. This Achiki is the progenitor of the Achiki-no-Fubito clan. In the 16th year, in spring, in February, Wani had come. Then, Prince Uji-no-Waki-Iratsuko took him as his teacher, learned various classics under him and there was nothing he didn't become thoroughly acquainted with. This so-called Wani was the progenitor of the Fumi-no-Obito clan. UMAYASAKA （厩坂）<A> A geographical location in the “Chronicles of Japan”. It is conceived to be Kashihara Castle in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture. According to Emperor Oijin, in the 15th year of August, King of Baekje dispatched Achiki and offered up 2 good horses to raise at Karusakanoue, which is believed to be around Ogarucho today.
