Japan Websites and Accounts

Here you will find websites and accounts about Japan. Japan Search is the national search across the country's digital archives: 320 databases and nearly 33 million prints, photos, scrolls and archaeological finds. It has an English interface and curated galleries, so you can explore it without reading Japanese.

The official Instagram of the Tokyo National Museum, Japan's oldest museum, shows Hiroshige woodblock prints, prehistoric treasures, the Ueno garden and galleries. Artist Tatsuya Tanaka has been staging tiny figures in everyday objects since 2011, so broccoli becomes a forest and a stapler turns into a train.

Every find is picked by an editor, checked live and comes with a short review. The page grows as new finds about Japan appear: Country of the day keeps returning to every country, and Japanese sites and accounts show up in other rubrics as well. Check back to see what has been added.
