Rekihaku Gallery 2: Screen of "Scenes in and around the Capital" and "Reconstruction of Kyoto Streets"
 |
 |
| These two items are on display in Gallery 2 of the museum. The two are closely connected, since the screen was used as a source for the reconstruction. However, although several screens were used for this purpose, we can only display one screen here at a time. Moreover, the screens are no more than pictorial representations; the houses, for example, are depicted on a far larger scale than the corresponding street blocks, and could not be transferred to the model just as they are. The figurines, which were added later, were taken from the screens and inserted in appropriate locations in the model, but not necessarily in their original positions. Such reconstructed models have an important role to play in exhibiting history, but they constitute just one image of a historical situation, in which elements have been interpreted and reconstituted in particular ways. | |
