Izumo and Yamato: The Birth of Ancient Japan / Heiseikan Special Exhibition Galleries

Detail

The year 2020 will mark 1,300 years since Japan's oldest official history was compiled, The Chronicles of Japan (Nihon Shoki). The history contains two narratives: one of sacred lzumo inhabited by the gods of Shinto and ruled over by Ōkuninushi; and one of mortal Yamato, a place of human governance ruled over by the emperor. In partnership with their present-day counterparts, Shimane Prefecture (Izumo) and Nara Prefecture (Yamato), this special exhibition brings together rare and remarkable artifacts to explore these two foundational pillars of ancient Japan: the seat of sacred power in Izumo and the seat of political power in Yamato. Hours 9:30–17:00 * Open until 21:00 on Fridays & Saturdays * Last entry 30 minutes before closing Closed Mondays (excluding February 24) and February 25
