Five commemorative items were developed in collaboration with curatorial producer Mari Hashimoto! Product tags include product descriptions from Hashimoto. Curatorial producer Mari Hashimoto, who contributes to the Kyushu National Museum’s quarterly magazine, “Asiage,” participated in product development. Mr. Hashimoto’s unique perspective, which is based on his deep knowledge of art galleries, museums, and their museum goods, greatly inspired our product development team, allowing us to create unique goods never before seen. ⚫Mr. Hashimoto provided comments on product development Bringing the museum experience home and transcending temporal and physical distances as a “replay device” was an exciting request for us to be involved in planning such museum goods, taking advantage of the 20th anniversary of the Kyushu National Museum, with which we have a deep connection. We wanted to emphasize the unique character of the Kyushu National Museum, and for the goods themselves to be in sync with the museum’s function (to protect and communicate). Based on this concept, we shared our opinions with the production team, and we hope that the completed products will be loved by many people. <Hashimoto Mari> Curatorial producer. In addition to contributing to newspapers and magazines, her diverse activities include commentary on art programs, curation, and consulting.

https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/120136/22/120136-22-620d641773628b43ff7586eb337a1832-2400×1800.jpg The “Haniwa Deer” is one of the most popular items in the Kyushu National Museum’s collection. It’s said to be posing as if it’s looking back warily, but it also looks as if it’s being called from behind and turning around to ask, “What’s this?”, making it a very endearing piece. By printing the back on the reverse side, it’s clear that it’s a haniwa tote bag from either side. And above all, the indentations at the feet! The shape of the bag was decided after receiving various opinions from various parties involved. Despite its unusual shape, the bag is large enough to hold A4 size documents, making it suitable for a variety of practical uses, from everyday life to exploring ruins. The color was also chosen from six print samples to recreate the color of the unglazed haniwa. This is a one-of-a-kind tote bag that stands out as a museum item and cannot be found anywhere else. Motif: Haniwa deer excavated from the Tenjinyama Tomb (Important Cultural Property), owned by the Kyushu National Museum Size: Longest part [Main body] Approx. 40cm H x 38cm W x 9cm D; [Handle] Approx. 58cm

The haniwa deer, one of the most popular figures in the Kyushu National Museum’s collection, has been recreated in approximately 3/4 scale for easy portability. Not only is the front, with its charming, playful expression, printed on the back, which is often hidden from view in the exhibit, but the bag is also meticulously printed, ensuring a flawless 360-degree view. More convenient than a stuffed animal and cuter than a bag, this haniwa deer tote bag will make your museum visits even more enjoyable. It also comes with a convenient interior pocket for storing valuables. ■ Experience a culture that transcends the ocean: Japanese black tea set 1,900 yen (tax included)
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/120136/22/120136-22-2adfa15b8c6a6bcbd5efc7e8d5259d18-2400×1800.jpg Kyushu National Museum has been actively collecting sarasa, a patterned cotton fabric originating from India. Vibrantly colored and captivating to look at, sarasa was not only beloved in India, but also spread to Southeast Asia, Persia, and Europe, eventually making its way to Japan. The “Japanese Black Tea Set: Experience a Culture Across the Sea” combines chintz with black tea, which shares the same history: spreading throughout the world and then crossing the ocean to reach Japan. The individually wrapped bags feature seven varieties carefully selected by curators and product planners from the Kyushu National Museum’s vast collection of chintz, carefully balancing production area, era, pattern, and color to convey their beauty, vividness, and variety. An explanatory pamphlet is included, allowing you to deepen your knowledge of chintz. For the outer box, we came up with over 10 designs to bring out the patterns, searched for a printing company capable of beautiful printing, and paid particular attention to color reproduction. The inside is Yame Japanese Black Tea from Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture. This is not imported black tea, but Japanese black tea produced locally in Fukuoka Prefecture, where the Kyushu National Museum is located. Made from the rare Benifuuki variety, considered ideal for black tea, it is fermented twice and aged for 90 days, resulting in a deep, savory, and easy-to-drink Japanese black tea with minimal astringency. Motif: 15th-20th century Indian, French, and Indonesian chintz. Kyushu National Museum collection. Net weight: 21g (7 bags of 3g)

https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/120136/22/120136-22-e15d300719c3666a2928cc5dd27961d8-2400×1800.jpg Seven individually wrapped patterns, selected with the hope that you will be able to appreciate the beauty of the chintz like on a card, and an explanatory pamphlet.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/120136/22/120136-22-41ade3d7cc84ece9b1b97e47a7a0567c-2400×1793.jpg The painstaking work that went into the outer box design. This was the most challenging of all the 20th anniversary merchandise items. <Product Description by Mr. Hashimoto> Brought from far across the sea, this chintz fabric, known as “hanafu,” is paired with deep crimson tea. While influenced by foreign influences, it has taken root in the Japanese culture and cultivated its own unique beauty. Once abandoned, but now richly reborn, Japanese black tea is carefully wrapped in chintz cloth to add a touch of elegance. This cup will accompany you as you reflect on the stories woven by history and people. ■Ozuka Kofun-shaped Decorative Tomb Pouch 2,000 yen (tax included)
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/120136/22/120136-22-73b3c4c2ac5183878261c5aa8936b60a-2400×1800.jpg This pouch was created through a great deal of trial and error. To fully convey the charm of Japan’s most famous decorated kofun, we spoke with relevant parties, studied documents, and made numerous prototypes for the exterior embroidery and the vibrantly colored interior fabric, before arriving at the final design. The pouch’s outer shape is slightly distorted, as it was die-cut based on the existing portion of the burial mound. This distorted shape is one of its key features. The lush grass growing on the mound is recreated with the fluffy texture of Sagara embroidery. The inner lining was designed based on the latest color research into the stone chamber murals of the Ozuka Tomb. We paid meticulous attention to detail, including where to place each pattern, what colors to use, the size and balance of the motifs, and more. While we rarely have the opportunity to see the stone chamber, we designed the pouch so that the same excitement you might feel when you see the colorful murals is relived every time you open it. This museum item allows you to think back to ancient times and imagine what people were thinking when they used the colors red, black, green, white, yellow, and gray (blue) to paint. Supervision: Ozuka Kofun Museum Motif: Ozuka Kofun mound, decorative pattern of stone chamber Size: Approximately 14cm long x 14.5cm wide x 6cm deep (longest part) Material: [Outer] Canvas (100% cotton)

After further color
adjustments (right), it’s finished! <Product Description by Hashimoto> We’ve prepared a decorative kofun (pouch) that you can use to enjoy “excavation” anytime! Ozuka Tomb (6th century, Katsuragawa Town, Fukuoka Prefecture) is known as one of Japan’s most decorated ancient tombs, but opportunities to see the murals adorning its stone chamber are limited. That’s why we’ve created a decorative tomb pouch that lets you enjoy “excavation” anytime! The grass-covered burial mound is embroidered on cotton fabric, and when you open the zipper, the hidden, colorful stone chamber is revealed. This pouch can be opened and closed as much as you like every day, and you can store whatever you like inside the stone chamber, whether it’s lip balm or a USB flash drive. It’s like a small tomb that fits in the palm of your hand. ■Carried by the Tang Dynasty envoy ships! Cinnamon-scented spice cookies ¥1,200 (tax included)
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/120136/22/120136-22-a5fc9dcdcdc69e2a35e2b486fdc17620-2400×1800.jpg Kentoushi (Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty) were missions sent by Japan to the Tang Dynasty from the Asuka period through the Nara period. They were dispatched 15 times from 630 until their abolition in 894. Along with the missions, many monks and students also traveled to Tang China. They learned about culture, law, religion, art, and technology before returning home, bringing great benefits and inspiration to Japanese politics, society, and culture. Since then, many of these things have taken root in Japan, one of which is spices. A model of a Kentoushi ship is on display in the Kyushu National Museum’s Cultural Exchange Exhibition Room, and in the exhibition room depicting the interior of the ship, there is a corner where you can actually enjoy the aroma of spices. Inspired by this, we created these cinnamon-flavored spice cookies, presented in a box shaped like a Japanese envoy ship. The box design, supervised by the Kyushu National Museum, reflects the ship’s appearance from the 8th to 9th centuries, based on the latest research on Japanese envoy ships. At first glance, the box has a retro touch that appears to be misprinted, with the hidden characters “989 (Kyushu National Museum)” adorning the clouds, and the sides are colored the same as the Kyushu National Museum logo. Cookies with a strong spice can be both popular and unpopular, so we conducted repeated tastings to find the perfect flavor. These cookies are the perfect educational companion, bringing the era of the Japanese envoys to Tang China closer to you and cultivating a perspective on Japan as part of East Asia. Supervision: Kyushu National Museum (box) Motif: Envoy ship to Tang China Contents: 10 sheets

Nothing allows you to fully experience the museum experience more deeply than food. After all, you don’t just “see” it, you actually ingest it! Our “Cinnamon-Scented Spice Cookies” spotlight cinnamon, a spice brought back by Japanese envoys to Tang China as medicine and still preserved in the Shosoin Repository. The cute, retro packaging, featuring a model of the Japanese envoy ship on display at the Kyushu National Museum, makes the perfect souvenir. Enjoy them over tea while reminiscing about the magnificent journey where goods and cultures intersected. ■ Onigawara Reflector Tote Bag 1,800 yen (tax included)

It is approximately 50cm tall and partially missing, but the realistic depiction of facial muscles and skin movement gives it a dynamic and powerful feel, making it an Important Cultural Property packed with the power to ward off evil.
その「魔を退ける」「悪いものを威嚇する」鬼瓦の意味合いを、現代版にアップデートして具現化できる商材を探し求めた末に、リフレクター印刷に辿り着きました。ベタ塗りだと鬼瓦の表情が目立ちすぎて普段使いしにくいため、ドットで表現することとし、資料の雰囲気を壊さない範囲でドットの大きさをどのくらいにするのか調整しました。デスク下の暗がりで試作品をライトで照らし、本当に鬼瓦が反射した時は、商品企画チームのメンバーで声を上げて喜びました。
キーホルダーなどの候補も出ましたが、大きい面で見せたほうが本物の大きさも伝わるため、トートバッグを採用し、夜道の危ないシーンでもビカッと光って貴方を守る、最強にかっこいいバッグが出来上がりました。 モチーフ:鬼瓦 サイズ :【本体】縦37cm×横36cm×マチ11cm 【持ち手】54cm 素材:綿100%
