About this event
This collection exhibition focuses on familiar tools used in everyday life, such as in schools and workplaces, selected from historical materials that depict the history and people's lives in Shinjuku Ward. By tracing changes in the shapes and functions of tools, it provides an opportunity to consider "what continues to endure even as form changes." Useful tools once used by people in daily life are preserved in the Shinjuku Historical Museum. Through these materials, visitors can appreciate the evolution and timeless value of tools from the perspective that items we use today may eventually become museum artifacts.
