Vol.25:In Murin-an the items related to the Meiji Emperor are released for the first time. (November 1 (Thursday) – November 11, 2018 (Sunday). 11 days)

Murin-an was the garden villa of Yamagata Aritomo, one of Japan’s leading statesmen during the Meiji (1868-1912) and Taisho (1912-26) periods.
It was constructed between 1894-96 and is made up of its garden and three buildings: a main house, a Western-style house, and a tearoom.
 
The garden is a modern Japanese garden masterpiece.
It was designated a National Place of Scenic Beauty in 1951.
 
On the second floor of the Western-style house, there is the “Murin-an Conference” room where Yamagata met with fellow statesman Itō Hirobumi to prepare for the Russo-Japanese War. The room’s appearance on that day is still maintained today.
 
 
In the special release this time, treasured items such as Emperor Meiji ‘s cigarette case, jewelry box etc. are exhibited for the first time.
