The Museum of the Orient's collection of Japanese art exhibits excellent examples of painting and engraving, including one of the four famous painting scrolls of Kitagawa Utamaro. The halls also display wonderful examples of Japanese toreutics and ivory carvings, and the museum's netsuke collection is one of the jewels of the collection. One of the rooms reproduces the interior of a tea house and an artificial garden with characteristic elements of Japanese landscape design. Some of the most interesting exhibits are medieval Buddhist wood sculpture and a portrait statue of an official. The museum is well represented both hand-made ceramics, meeting the criteria of the aesthetic canons of simplicity of naturalness, and polychrome porcelain, demonstrating the development of a taste for refined luxury. In 2003, the exhibition "Traditional Japanese Porcelain" was held with great success, for which a scientific catalog was published. The museum also contains a large collection of Japanese toys, which was exhibited at the exhibition dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the museum - "The Art of Everyday Life and Being". This collection contains rare sets of toys for boys 'and girls' parties that date back to the late 19th century. С сентября 2006 года в зале японского искусства Музея Востока выставлен уникальный экспонат — скульптура орла и вышитая двусторонняя ширма. Этот художественный ансамбль дар императора Мэйдзи российскому императору Николаю II по случаю коронации последнего на престол. Выбор мотива определялся значительностью события. Одинокий орел, сидящий на возвышении, считался в Японии олицетворением власти и незыблемости авторитета правителя. Четырехстворчатая ширма, служащая фоном для скульптуры, — великолепный образец ручного ткачества старейших в Японии мастерских Нисидзин (Киото). На лицевой стороне шелковыми нитями, преимущественно гладью, вышиты морские волны, разбивающиеся о прибрежные скалы. The eagle sculpture was originally kept in the collection of the Museum of the East. In the 1960s, it was transferred to the Armory of the Moscow Kremlin Museums, and only recently was it returned to the Museum of the East, where it can be seen today.
