"Shiko-hin Culture and History in Japan" Exhibition
This event has ended.
At Tobacco & Salt Museum
Media: Painting, Other
Alcohol, tea, coffee and tobacco are the world's four great stimulants, with a long history of giving pleasure to countless people, as well as a rich heritage of fostering and nurturing a wealth of culture. This exhibition, held to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its opening, focuses on how these stimulants relate to the history and culture of Japan, how their use and production developed, and how they came to be adopted by the Japanese. In addition, the rapidly changing face of stimulant culture over the second half of the 20th century, through the sales of these goods in the world's 8 great "kiosks" of distribution, such as New York, Paris and Shanghai, has led to new forms of culture centered around these stimulants, which are also examined at this exhibition.
Various other events that reflect on the history of these stimulants are scheduled for the duration of the exhibition. See website for details.
