Tokugawa Art Museum's The Timeless Appeal of "Kawaii" / "Cute" Culture exhibition
Event information:
As the Japanese classic, The Pillow Book, demonstrates in a line reading, "All things small hold a certain daintiness," small and cute items have captivated the hearts of the Japanese since long ago. This exhibit has gathered small, cute items with an emphasis on ladies' accessories created in a slightly dainty and glamorous fashion for use in the Doll Festival, which celebrates long life and happiness.
Find items such as hina dolls and their accessories as well as conventional dolls, handicrafts, and animals showcased in the spirit of the Doll Festival, tying into the concept of "kawaii", or Japanese cuteness, which has captivated the world.
Also enjoy the following two special exhibitions during this event's period.
Special Doll Festival of the Owari Tokugawa Family exhibition
View elegant courtesan hina dolls and their miniature wedding furniture accessories made to order for the princesses of the Owari Tokugawa clan during the Edo period. These items are of the highest quality, befitting only the very top of the Tokugawa clan's three noble houses. The technical ingenuity of generations come together with the lavish tiered hina doll displays belonging to three generations of women from the Owari Tokugawa clan from the Meiji period to the Showa period. The emperor and empress dolls the wife of Yoshinobu, a 21st generation member of the Owari Tokugawa clan, had made for her elder daughter, Tsuguko, also illustrate such ingenuity during their first time being shown to the public.
Feel an unbroken history and enjoy the splendor of these numerous hina dolls and accessories linked to the Owari Tokugawa clan.
