Like many big cities for tourism or business that sees a lot of people coming and going, even Tokyo has many museums dedicated to art, crafts, science, industry and any other branch of human activities.
Not all, I imagine, are of immediate interest for the tourist (you never said that there is a "museum of salt and tobacco in Shibuya ?) But some steps are required for any person should verietà and get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe beauty of Asian cultures in general.
Assessing Tokyo National Museum by the yardstick national would be reductive to scale (100 thousand square meters!), Quantity, variety and provenance of the works, in a sense, multiculturalism, the first museum in Japan is comparable to the British Museum. A thorough visit to its halls r egal a look as well as on ancient Japanese history, even the oldest ones on the rest of East Asia, China and Korea in particular.
The NWT is divided into large halls built in different periods since 1872, each housing a different permanent exhibition, as well as numerous temporary exhibitions each year.
Honkan (or Japanese Gallery)
It 's the main hall of the museum, as well as the major. In its 24 rooms are all examples of Japanese cultural and artistic journey, from the Jomon period protohistoric to the contemporary age.
As you can see from the map, there are rooms devoted to archeology, art and Buddhist court. You can see objects of military use, as armor and weapons, items for the tea ceremony , theater and painting on panels and screens . In the end, there are also some pictures, expression of the influence of Western art from the second half of the nineteenth century.
dell'Honkan Opposite the main entrance, there is also a beautiful garden, where you can see a corner in the photo below.

At Honkan is a Dogu , a clay figurine dating to a period between 1000 and 400 after Christ, became known more for theories of fiction for its archeology archaeological value. This figurine is called "astronaut" , because the decorations in his clothes remind someone of the current space suits.
