To celebrate the reopening of Sendai City Museum, we are holding a commemorative feature exhibition.

We have a plethora of items on display which center on celebration, such as patterns of pines, bamboo, and plums, the Seven Deities of Good Fortune, and Fukusuke (a traditional auspicious doll with a large head). With the saying “laugh and be merry” as the theme of this exhibition, we have made sure that visitors can enjoy themselves while taking in the charms of the collection, not only by viewing, but also by getting to experience touching the items and searching for the symbols of luck they contain.
