MFA and Nagoya Summer 2010 Word Exchange Video
During Summer 2010, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts participated in a word exchange project. At both museums, we asked children to view four paintings from our collection (categories: river, sky, forest, and sea) and answer the questions: What creatures do you think would live in this environment? and What activities would you want to do here? This video highlights the answers of the children from the Art & Nature class at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston as well as their drawings inspired from the selected paintings.

Conserving Japanese Works of Art in Foreign Collections
Learn more about the exhibition Art of the Samurai: Japanese Arms and Armor, 1156—1868, on view at the Met October 21, 2009 — January 10, 2010:
Norio Suzuki, Director-General, National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo
This is the first comprehensive exhibition devoted to the arts of the samurai. Arms and armor is the principal focus, bringing together the finest examples of armor, swords and sword mountings, archery equipment and firearms, equestrian equipment, banners, surcoats, and related accessories of rank such as fans and batons. Drawn entirely from public and private collections in Japan, the majority of objects date from the rise of the samurai in the late Heian period, ca. 1156, through the early modern Edo period, ending in 1868, when samurai culture was abolished. The martial skills and daily life of the samurai, their governing lords, the daimyo, and the ruling shoguns will also be evoked through the presence of painted scrolls and screens depicting battles and martial sports, castles, and portraits of individual warriors. The exhibition concludes with a related exhibition documenting the recent restoration in Japan of a selection of arms and armor from the Metropolitan Museums permanent collection. This is the first exhibition ever devoted to the subject of Japanese arms and armor conservation.
This Sunday at the Met is supported by the Japan Foundation.

Traveling to Japan | Walking around Nagoya City
Nagoya (名古屋) is the largest city in the Chūbu region of Japan. It is Japan's third-largest incorporated city and the fourth most populous urban area. It is located on the Pacific coast on central Honshu. It is the capital of Aichi Prefecture and is one of Japan's major ports along with those of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, Chiba, and Kitakyushu. It is also the center of Japan's third-largest metropolitan region, known as the Chūkyō Metropolitan Area. As of 2015, 2.28 million people lived in the city, part of Chūkyō Metropolitan Area's 9.10 million people.
Nagoya is served by Chūbu Centrair International Airport (NGO), built on an artificial island in Tokoname. The airport has international flights and a high volume of domestic flights.
A second airport is Nagoya Airfield (Komaki Airport, NKM) near the city's boundary with Komaki and Kasugai. On February 17, 2005 Nagoya Airport's commercial international flights moved to Centrair Airport. Nagoya Airfield is now used for general aviation and as an airbase and is the main Fuji Dream Airlines hub.
Nagoya Station, the world's largest train station by floor area, is on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen line, the Tōkaidō Main Line, and the Chūō Main Line, among others. JR Central, which operates the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, has its headquarter there. Meitetsu is also based in Nagoya, and along with Kintetsu provides regional rail service to the Tōkai and Kansai regions. Nagoya Subway provides urban transit service.
Nagoya Port is the largest port by international trade value in Japan. Toyota Motor Corporation exports via this port.
Nagoya's two most famous sightseeing spots are Atsuta Shrine and Nagoya Castle.[35]
Atsuta Shrine is the second-most venerable shrine in Japan, after Ise Grand Shrine. It is said to hold the Kusanagi sword, one of the three imperial regalia of Japan, but it is not on public display. It holds around 70 festivals per year. The shrine hosts over 4,400 national treasures that span its 2,000 year history.
Nagoya Castle was built in 1612. Although a large part of it burned down during World War II, the castle was restored in 1959, adding amenities such as elevators. The castle is famous for two magnificent Golden tiger-headed carp (金の鯱 Kin no Shachihoko) on the roof, often used as the symbol of Nagoya.
Other attractions include:
Nagoya TV Tower and Hisaya-Ōdori Park, located in the central Sakae district
JR Central Towers of Nagoya Station
Midland Square: The new international sales headquarters for Toyota features Japan's highest open-air observation deck.[36]
The Nagoya Port area: The Nagoya port area includes a themed shopping mall called Italia Mura as well as the popular Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium.
Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens and the Higashiyama Sky Tower
The Toyota museums: The Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology near Nagoya station
