The city of Tokyo expanded into a sprawling metropolis during the Edo period, around 400 years ago. This exhibition asks: “How did these Tokyoites interact with animals?”
A deep dive of all things feathered and furry, 240 works have been selected from the Edo Tokyo Museum collections. The 100 Animal Views From the Edo-Tokyo Museum Collection showcases a diverse representation of animals through picture scrolls, ukiyo-e prints, and folk toys.
