Hoi An relics coming to Japan
Hoi An People’s Committee has agreed on the lending of the town’s antiques to Kyushu National Museum, Japan for exhibition. Time of the exhibition is kept unveiled.
The Hoi An People’s Committee has authorized the lending of the town’s antique collection to the Kyushu National Museum in Japan for an upcoming exhibition, with dates yet to be disclosed.
The collection includes vibrant glass artifacts discovered at Lang Beach, Cu Lao Islet, and remnants of Japanese Hizen pottery excavated from house No. 16, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street in Hoi An Old Town.
Located in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, the Kyushu National Museum is dedicated to the preservation and exploration of Japan's cultural heritage from an Asian perspective. The exhibition of Hoi An's antiques at the museum aims to enhance Japanese understanding of the robust trade relations between Japan and Vietnam during the 16th century.
Hoi An is situated on the South Central Coast of Vietnam. This former harbor town served as a pivotal trading center in Southeast Asia during the 16th century, attracting numerous merchants from countries including China, Japan, India, and the Netherlands for trade and settlement. In 1999, UNESCO designated Hoi An as a World Heritage Site due to its exceptionally well-preserved architectural designs, showcasing a unique blend of local and foreign influences. Japanese influences are evident in several relics in Hoi An, such as the three Japanese tombs and the iconic Japanese Bridge (Chua Cau), which serves as a symbol of the town.
