With metal as the keyword, we are exhibiting various metal objects by various techniques and materials, from a buddhist sculpture and sword fittings smaller than ones fingers, to busts by V. Ragusa, who brought the opening of modern Japanese sculptures and graduation pieces of the Tokyo Fine Arts School. The Japanese metal art works that were praised at the International Expositions during the Meiji era are exhibited at the Tokyo National Museum, and at the same time, superior German church metal pieces are exhibited at the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo. By visiting these exhibitions together with ours, one may be able to enjoy the various expressions made possible by metal art.
