To celebrate both the reopening of the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts after a two-year-long facelift and the Osaka-Kansai Expo, the city is hosting a truly unmissable exhibition. ‘National Treasures of Japan’ will bring together around 130 of Japan’s most revered cultural artifacts – all government-designated National Treasures – making it the largest showcase of its kind ever held in Osaka.
Expect a dazzling display of historic craftsmanship, with special attention given to treasures linked to Osaka itself. Whether you’re an art aficionado or a history buff, this is your chance to get up close with pieces that rarely leave their storied homes, including samurai swords, antique furniture and masterpieces by Kano Eitoku and Ogata Korin.
