- Introduction to the exhibition during the period -

After all, I still love Egypt the most♡－Showa-era Japan and the trajectory of
ancient Egypt－

• When talking about Egypt's popularity in Japan, the first thing that comes to mind is the "Tutankhamun Exhibition," which toured Tokyo, Kyoto, and Fukuoka in 1965 and attracted over 2.9 million visitors.
• But in fact, designs with ancient Egyptian themes have been used in Japan in the early days and appear in daily life.
• This exhibition will introduce the Egyptian style boom centered on the Showa 30s and 40s through the collection of the Kitanagoya City Museum of History and Folklore (Showa Daily Museum). It will also look back at Japanese society at that time and glimpse into the Japanese people's interest in and admiration for ancient Egypt, as well as their lives.
