Tokyo Sword Museum 🌟

Even if you can't understand the details, you can tell these are fine blades. 🌸🍃 The museum's exterior is quite impressive, but the actual exhibition hall is only on the third floor, and it's quite small. 🌇✨The collection spans from the Heian period, Kamakura period, all the way to modern times. On the first floor, there's a blade-making demonstration room, a café, and a shop selling related merchandise. 🌸🍃 The second floor seems to be off-limits to visitors. The ticket price is 1,000 yen. Since I'm a layman, I personally think it's a bit pricey. 🌇✨The balcony on the third floor offers a nice view of the adjacent garden. 1F: Lobby, Gift Shop, Rest Area 🌸🍃 2F: Offices 🌇✨3F: Exhibition Hall, Rooftop Garden The exterior and landscape primarily feature concrete, metal panels, and stone. 🌸🍃 The low-profile building, combined with the garden park at the back, creates a relaxing and open feeling. The interior spaces mainly use glass, metal, and wood, showcasing a modern and sleek style while also reflecting traditional Japanese aesthetics! 🌇✨ The rest area faces the garden. Though the building is small, it has an open view and excellent natural lighting. According to the information I found, the museum was designed by architect Kengo Kuma and opened in 2018. 🌸🍃 It was originally located in Shibuya and later relocated to Sumida. 🌿 #Tokyo #Museum 🌇✨
