The Azuchi-Momoyama period refers to the 30 year timeframe from the fall of the Muromachi shogunate in 1573 until the establishment of the Edo shogunate in 1603. A special exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum is showcasing around 230 works from this period, which illustrate how art developed during such a turbulent time.
A full list of items exhibited at the event can be found here. Adult admission is priced at 2400 yen.
