TEXT:   This year is the 1100th year since the completion of “Kokinwakashu” in 905, and the 800th year since the rough completion of “Shinkokinwakashu” in 1205.  In this memorable year, the museum offers a special exhibition of classical Japanese poetry “Kokinwakashu” and “Shinkokinwakashu,” and related arts such as Kohitsugire (paper fragments). It would be an impressive experience to touch the beauty of Japanese arts.
