Abstract
“The National Museum of Japanese History” or known in Japanese as “ 国立歴史民俗博物館 ” and the official name in English as “The National Museum of Japanese History”, is located at Sakura City, Chiba province. The Japanese government has established this museum in the occasion of 100thanniversary celebration of the national reform in the Meji period. The museum was first open to the public in 1983.
“The National Museum of Japanese History” is the only one of museum in Japan with the specialty as the national history museum, “the Inter-University Research Institute” in history and also as the national center for history, archaeology and folklore studies.
Those uniqueness influences the museum on the selected themes presenting in interesting aspects with various information, more academic principles compared with others and more interests in the culture value and the way of life of people in the society. History found in the exhibition are not those showing the bravery of ancestors, rulers or power groups, but the common life style of all groups of people living in Japan. This reflects that all groups of people have been builders and developers of their own life styles, cultures and traditions which have become the nation identities.
