Shibuya is inseparably associated with the image of the dog Hachiko. It is said that dogs are man’s best friend, and perhaps it is true that these creatures have the ability to come closer to us than any other animal. Examining the history of Japan and its relation with dogs we may find that they were kept by humans since the Jomon period for hunting, having the longest connection as a domesticated animal. The image of dogs has also appeared in numerous cultural expressions throughout the ages including the tombs of the Kofun era, the scrolls of the middle ages and the rise of the European dog in the Edo period. This exhibition features 90 examples of cultural artifacts providing new observations upon natural history and customs.
