Japan's railroad system, which celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, began service between Shimbashi and Yokohama in 1872. Coincidentally, the word “bijutsu” (art in Japanese) first appeared in 1872. Railroads and art have been accompanying the flow of modernization in Japan for 150 years, sometimes being tossed about by the currents of modernization.

This exhibition will reveal the relationship between railroads and art through a variety of perspectives, including not only railroad history and art history, but also politics, society, war, customs, and more.
This is an exhibition of the Tokyo Station Gallery's best efforts, bringing together about 150 masterpieces and controversial works collected from about 40 locations throughout Japan.
