Free Admission Day at National Museum of Western Art
Check out the extensive permanent collection at the Museum of Western Art in Ueno Park. Works includes paintings from the late medieval period through to the 20th century and modern French sculpture. A disco party in Shibuya playing the best of 70s disco, 80s boogie, 2000s nu disco, funk, soul, and everything in between. The Daikoku Festival features two interesting ceremonies: a ice-cold purification ceremony for coming-of-age participants and a traditional fish-slicing ritual. Some solid family fun to be had at this nighttime market. There will be locals shops selling their wares on the streets, yatai (street food) stalls serving up some sweet and savory treats, lion dances and activities for kids. A nice market for some sold antique hunting. Peruse the stalls for jewelry, home goods, clothing and much more. There are also food trucks parked if all that shopping leaves you peckish. Inspired by the works of French artist Marcel Duchamp, Terai investigates the idea of authorship, ownership, and art production in the digital age in his new series of paintings. Tokyo-based artist Yeka Haski exhibits her colourful characters at Mograg art gallery. The outdoor ice rink at Tokyo Midtown is up and running for a perfectly winter activity.
