Archaeology of Excavation and Discovery: 75 Years of Meiji University Archaeology In 1950, Meiji University established the first archaeology major at a private university in Japan. We look back on the history of the university's investigations and research, which led the way in postwar Japanese archaeology, through a variety of archaeological materials, including those from five nationally designated Important Cultural Properties, such as the Iwajuku Site in Gunma Prefecture and the Natsushima Shell Mound in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Experience the floating world of Edo as seen by Hokusai through technology. The works of Katsushika Hokusai, which everyone has seen at least once, are reproduced in high-definition images with a sense of realism using ultra-high definition image data and Sony's Crystal LED LED display. In addition, with effects such as Sony's haptics technology that makes it feel as if the floor has turned into a puddle or a sandy beach, visitors can experience the scenery and walking sensation of Edo as Hokusai saw it with an overwhelming sense of immersion. During the event, collaborative goods with brands that represent Japanese craftsmanship and are inspired by Katsushika Hokusai will also be on sale.

From the late 1960s to the 1970s, the "underground," commonly known as "angura," took the Japanese art world by storm, mainly in the urban space of Tokyo. The underground, which replaced the "avant-garde" as the gathering point of cutting-edge art, was imported to Japan from the United States through experimental films and spread to fields such as fine art, music, manga, design, theater, and dance, becoming a trend recognized by the general public in just a few years. However, because it was established through its interaction with the anti-establishment movement of the time, it disappeared in the early 1970s as the movement declined. Although it was a short-lived phenomenon, underground culture had a great impact on postwar Japanese society, and it can be said that it remains as a style to this day. In addition, by its very nature, underground culture focused on temporary "events" rather than physical "works," and placed importance on the "places" that welcomed its bearers. For this reason, the underground is seen as the atmosphere of the times, and its actual nature has yet to be clarified. "MAM Research 011: Tokyo Underground 1960s-1970s - A turning point in postwar Japanese culture" will display many materials, mainly ephemera (printed material intended for temporary use), that are suited to conveying the rise and fall of underground culture in Tokyo. Furthermore, by examining these materials, we will attempt to look in detail at the history of "underground," its ideas and those who carried it, as well as its spread and limitations.

With the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and the integration of virtual and real worlds, the latest cutting-edge technologies have quickly penetrated our daily lives. This tendency has become especially apparent since the COVID-19 pandemic, when many human activities shifted towards virtual space. Looking back, the progress of art and technology has run parallel to each other throughout the course of history, a phenomenon that is especially evident in the field of computer art and video art. While recent innovations in video game engines and AI offer unprecedented possibilities for artists, the advent of generative AI also has raised significant concerns. Such developments are now attracting considerable attention in various fields and industries, including the contemporary art world.
