Autumn Special Exhibition 'I Really Like Egypt'

When it comes to the popularity of Egypt in Japan, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tutankhamun exhibition of 1965. In fact, even before that, designs inspired by ancient Egypt had appeared in various aspects of daily life in Japan. This exhibition introduces a collection held by the Hokai Nagoya City Historical Folklore Museum (Showa Daily Life Museum), while showcasing the Egyptian pattern boom in Japan during the 30s to 40s of the Showa era, tracing the lives of people at that time and their admiration for ancient Egypt.
