■What is the special exhibition “Japanese Cuisine – Japanese Nature and People’s Wisdom”?
It has been 10 years since Japanese cuisine was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
We will introduce Japanese cuisine, which is increasingly attracting attention around the world, from a variety of scientific and historical perspectives, along with a rich variety of specimens and materials.
We explore the charms of Japanese cuisine, which may seem familiar but may be unknown, from the diverse ingredients nurtured by the nature of the Japanese archipelago, to the techniques created by people's wisdom and ingenuity, to historical changes, and even to the future.

■About “Rilakkuma” ~ Rilakkuma celebrates its 20th anniversary this year! ~
Rilakkuma is a costumed bear who suddenly takes up residence in the house of Kaoru, an office worker.
I'm lazing around every day.
There is a zipper on the back, but the contents are a secret.
She lives with Korilakkuma, a mischievous and naughty bear cub, and Kiiroitori, a hardworking and clean-loving bear.
The Chiroikoguma who lives in the Honey Forest is Korilakkuma's friend.
