KAB Event - Let’s Travel— The Story Starts With a Pictoral Map

Let’s Travel— The Story Starts With a Pictoral Map

Hyogo Prefectural Museum of History

This event has ended.

Spring is the time for traveling. The roads and seaways of Japan have historically been depicted in byobu folding screens, emaki pictorial scrolls, and folding books so that people can dream of places that they have never visited. This special exhibition showcases some of the museum’s collections of byobu screens and emaki scrolls from the Edo period, as well as travel pamphlets, aerial-view drawings, and picture postcards from the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. Let’s journey with the travelers of the past along the roads and seaways depicted on beautiful pictorial maps.
