About this event

Details
This exhibition features rare, original manuscripts and rubbings from the legendary 'Nara Zappitsu' (Nara Miscellany). The collection was compiled by Juro Takada (1881-1952), an educator at Nara Prefectural Normal School who conducted extensive research on history, art, and folklore. Although mentioned by researchers of that era, the handwritten notebooks remained unpublished and became a phantom existence. The event displays the phantom manuscript along with rubbing materials (takubon) gathered by Takada during his research, offering a glimpse into the accumulated information of Nara from the Taisho to Showa periods. Two related lectures will also be held during the exhibition period. Please check the website for details.
