Unearthed artifacts have generated cultural phenomena in various fields, ranging from arts and crafts to architecture, photography, film, theater, literature, traditional performing arts, thought, and even educational programs. The postwar episode of Okamoto Taro and Isamu Noguchi \u201cdiscovering\u201d the aesthetic value of excavated objects, which had previously been treated as archaeological materials, is now a legend. Why did unearthed objects attract attention only during a certain period of time? How did the evaluation of them spread? Why were artists so passionate about unearthed artifacts? With a focus on art, this exhibition traces from the Meiji period (1868\u20131912) to the present day the genealogy of \u201cmotifs of unearthed objects\u201d that have leaped onto the stage of cultural history to examine the changing gaze directed toward <em>Haniwa<\/em>, Jomon potteries, and <em>Dogu.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\">\n    <div class=\"momat-button-arrow\">\n        <a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/560-list-J_E.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\n            List of Works (PDF: 658KB)        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/560-04-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-158853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/560-04-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/560-04-141x200.jpg 141w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/560-04-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.momat.go.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/560-04.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-01\">Highlights&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Digging behind the scenes of the <em>Haniwa<\/em> and <em>Dogu<\/em> craze.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone in Japan has surely encountered <em>Haniwa<\/em> and <em>Dogu<\/em> as a child and have become familiar with them. It was not long ago, in fact, that they appeared at the beginning of history textbooks, and it was not until the modern times that they came to be spoken of as \u201cart.\u201d This is an exhibition with a double treat in one, as you will be able to see behind the <em>Haniwa<\/em> and <em>Dogu<\/em> fads while appreciating works of art.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. From archaeological illustrations to <em>manga<\/em>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A major feature of this exhibition is the wide range of periods and genres addressed. It covers everything from sketches of excavated artifacts from the Meiji period (1868\u20131912) to <em>manga<\/em>. Learning that <em>Haniwa<\/em> and <em>Dogu<\/em> are connected to all cultures, the landscape may look a little different when you leave our museum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Glasses of <em>Haniwa<\/em> and <em>Dogu<\/em> show the future.&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The relic booms have always had compelling backgrounds and will surely be repeated in the future. This exhibition will not only be a recollection of the past, but also suggestions of what may happen in the future. The future will be unearthed from antiquity!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-02\">Exhibition Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prologue: Antiquarianism and Archaeology\u2014A Leisurely Interest or Academic Study?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The love of antiquities, which involves collecting, documenting, and communicating their appeal, existed even prior to the modern era, with people known as \u201cantiquarians\u201d active in the late Edo period (1603\u20131868). Meanwhile, archaeology was brought to Japan from the West in the early Meiji period (1868\u20131912)  by foreign advisors hired by the Japanese government and municipalities for their specialized knowledge and skill to assist in the nation\u2019s modernization. In the prologue we introduce excavated artifacts that were depicted at the intersection of \u201cantiquarianism,\u201d \u201carchaeology,\u201d and \u201cart.\u201d While re-examining the artists\u2019 \u201cgaze towards artifacts,\u201d let us bring our attention to \u201cwhat is depicted on the outside of the artifacts.\u201d We begin by inviting viewers to enjoy the peculiar sensation of the encounter between ancient and modern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chapter 1: Unearthing \u201cJapan\u201d \u2014Mythology and War<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the process of Japan\u2019s formation as a modern nation, <em>Haniwa<\/em> came to hold special significance as a symbol of the history of the \u201cunbroken imperial line.\u201d&nbsp; As artifacts excavated from various locations across Japan were selected and collected at the Tokyo Imperial Household Museum in Ueno as Imperial Property, <em>Haniwa<\/em> became a visual resource conveying the clothing and lifestyles of ancient times, thus serving as a tool for research that assisted artists in creating images of Japanese mythology. It was not until around 1940, when the celebratory mood in anticipation of the 2600th Anniversary of the Japanese Empire had heightened, that the \u201cbeauty\u201d of <em>Haniwa<\/em> itself had come to be admired, rather than its mere value as an archaeological resource. This coincided with the period when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, and there was a growing movement to seek the origins of the \u201cJapanese spirit\u201d of times prior to the introduction of Buddhism to Japan. The simple and plain faces of <em>Haniwa<\/em>, which were seen as the \u201cideal Japanese figure,\u201d were also used in the boosting of morale and in military education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chapter 2: Unearthing \u201cTradition\u201d\u2014Jomon Period vs. Yayoi Period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 1950s was a time when \u201csoil\u201d was dug up all across Japan. Japan\u2019s defeat in World War II had left the nation in devastation, and excavation sites emerged everywhere during widespread reconstruction and development efforts. Archaeology soon gained attention as an \u201cempirical\u201d and \u201cscientific\u201d academic discipline. Excavated artifacts can be said to have been a powerful tool in reinterpreting history as people strived to overcome their experiences of war. The fact that \u201cControversies on Tradition\u201d based on the dichotomy of \u201cJomon Period vs. Yayoi Period\u201d had emerged centering on the field of architecture with regards to cultural symbols of postwar Japan, seems to be in part related to the new urban construction boom that was brought about by the nation\u2019s rapid economic growth. As Japan\u2019s landscape was being replaced by concrete and asphalt, what significance did art made of and evocative of the \u201csoil\u201d have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chapter 3: Digging Back to the Start\u2014Artifacts in Our Surroundings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Haniwa<\/em> and <em>Dogu<\/em> clay images, which had been loved an appreciated in various ways outside of archaeology, gradually spread widely to the masses. Especially from the 1970s to the 1980s, this image merged with the so-called science fiction and occult boom, and characters inspired by prehistoric artifacts were mass-produced in genres such as manga and special effects films and television programs. <em>Haniwa<\/em> and <em>Dogu<\/em> had become so familiar to the extent that they were integrated into everyday life. What this situation also signifies is that prior to gaining any academic knowledge, we are already subconsciously instilled with the awareness that the cultures of the Jomon and Kofun periods are positioned as the origins of the Japanese people. This exhibition concludes with contemporary works that seem to \u201cdig up\u201d this awareness once again. The issues surrounding <em>Haniwa<\/em> and <em>Dogu<\/em> clay images are not just buried underground, but are all around us, and certainly bear ties to our present day and age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
