「Children of Meiji」 ©PEM Collection
Ohmori shell mound was discovered by an American zoologist Edward Sylvester Morse. He visited Japan three times, including his first visit in 1877, and was fascinated by people’s daily life and kindheartedness, and took a variety of items back to the US. What was it about the “soul” of Japanese people in the Meiji era that impressed Morse so much? See for yourself from the 320 items on display including day-to-day tools and ceramic items from the period as well as Morse’s own diary and sketches.
