[thomas]

The Sannomaru Shozokan (三の丸尚蔵館), the Museum of the Imperial Collections Sannomaru-Shōzōkan, partly reopened on 3 November after an extensive renovation and expansion. The museum in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward will hold a special exhibition until 24 December and a commemorative exhibition until 23 June 2024. The facility, scheduled to be fully reopened in fiscal 2026, was established in 1993, and reconstruction work started in 2019.

In October this year, management of the museum was transferred from the Imperial Household Agency to the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage to enhance the exhibitions. The museum currently houses about 6,100 items, including eight national treasures. In the first of the four phases of the commemorative exhibition, four national treasures will be displayed, including Ito Jakuchu's (1716–1800) representative work "Doshoku Saie" (Colorful Realm of Living Beings) and "Moko Shurai Ekotoba" (Illustrated Account of the Mongol Invasions).
