Parties and celebrations have been important aspects of life in cultures throughout history, and they have also been depicted in a wide variety of artworks, from ukiyo-e prints to large-scale paintings. A special exhibition coming to the Tokyo National Museum is set to explore party-related Asian arts, crafts, and archeological relics, and there will also be some art-themed lectures that visitors can attend on certain dates.
Admission to the event is priced at 1,000 yen for adults and 500 yen for university students – those who are high school aged and younger receive free admission.
