Jomon 2021 －Jomon People Who Lived in Tokyo

Edo-Tokyo Museum

Finished

The Jomon period lasted for over 10,000 years. What was the “original” way of life of the Jomon people, who lived over such a long period? As a foundation for reflecting back on the lifestyles and culture of the city of Edo, the Edo-Tokyo Museum is holding an exhibition focusing on the people of the Jomon period, especially the lives of Jomon people in Tokyo, arguably the origin point of this region.

This museum is dedicated to exhibiting items that explain previous ways of life and cultures in Edo-Tokyo that have been restored or reproduced based on historical materials. Building upon its past achievements, the museum will exhibit images of the Jomon period based on the latest academic findings. In doing so, we seek to recreate ways of life at that time through detailed reproductions of living spaces and tools using restored models and images, in order to demonstrate where and how artifacts excavated from the Jomon period were used. This is the first time in 35 years that a large-scale exhibition presenting Tokyo in the Jomon period has been held, following the 2nd Tokyo Archaeological Exhibition.
