This exhibition is the first curatorial collaboration between the National Art Center, Tokyo and M+. It presents a historical survey of Japanese contemporary art between 1989 and 2010, bracketed by two major events in Japan’s recent past: the end of the Shōwa era (1926–1989) and the beginning of the Heisei period (1989–2019), and the Tōhoku Earthquake in 2011.The exhibition traces a trajectory of contemporary art in Japan beyond national and territorial frameworks, evolving through a rich array of international exchanges. Structured as two intertwined strands of iconic works of art and stories of lesser-known projects by artists during this period, the exhibition features Japanese artists living inside and outside their native country alongside works by international artists. It paints a picture of Japanese contemporary art as a complex, porous network of cultural dialogue and engagement, providing an alternative view to the established narrative of national singularity.The exhibition shows how Japanese contemporary art during this critical transitionary period examined and tackled major subjects, such as the nation's historical legacy and multiplicity of identities, while proposing possibilities of alternative communities. It also underscores the wide influence of Japanese art and visual culture in the first two decades of contemporary globalisation.

Avoid buying the helium balloons 🎈 at the entrance area because you&#39;ll see more designs once you walk into Disneyland. DO NOT tie the helium balloons at the pram thinking it is safe because mine got stolen when I tied mine to my friend&#39;s stroller while my 2 Nos. Mobile Devices were left on the bench &amp; we walked a distance before realising they were missing BUT we managed to retrieve at the nearby staff counter - helium balloons 🎈 are more worthy than phones LOL. Download the Tokyo Disney Resort APP for maps &amp; reserve tables for participating restaurants to avoid long queues - we dined at Grandma Sara&#39;s and waited for an hour to enter the restaurant since we didn&#39;t have any reservations, but the food is good 👍🏻 Be prepared to walk the entire day so wear comfortable shoes, but bring slippers in case it rains too. 🌦

One of the best Disneyland&#39;s. I have been to all Disney parks across the world but when it comes to service and friendliness of staff. None can touch Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea.

It was last minute decision to go as it was raining all morning but luckily in started to clear up around 2pm. I got combo ticket meaning you will go all the way up to the highest point. Getting ticket from machine was straight forward process. Ride on the elevator was experience on its own as you go up 36km/h. Mt Fuji wasn&rsquo;t fully visible as expected, but cloudy weather made the view much more interesting and dramatic. Worth seeing and spending not more then 30-45min overall.
