Yasumasa Morimura’s huge works, six by ten meter, at an escalator hall linking to the 53rd floor were really overwhelming. There were four brand new works.

“Chou-ju-ka-boku folding screen” by Ito Jakuchu were published in the press releases for this exhibition. It’s an incredibly spectacular piece of art.

It is worth glancing at the view from the observation platform aptly titled “Tokyo City View”. What a marvelous view it is! And one can enter here with a ticket for the exhibition. I saw some couples who seemed not to be interested in the exhibition going through the museum quickly. While I think this is also good, it might be displease for serious art fans. After enjoying the night view, I recommend stopping by the 52nd and 53rd floors.
