Edo Castle witnessed the lives of many, and it housed numerous incidents of interest, ranging from theft to sword wounds. There were also disasters including earthquakes and fires. In this exhibition, we will focus on incidents and disasters and explore them with materials owned by the NAJ. We will look at the details of incidents and subsequent responses, as well as damage to Edo Castle from natural disasters, reconstruction, and restoration.	→Homepage (HTML)

From June 2nd (Thursday) to September 13th (Tuesday), 2022 From 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (excluding public holidays and weekends) For details, please check the website of the Diplomatic Archives	Since FY2020, the Diplomatic Archives received the original documents of post-WWⅡ international conventions involving Japan. Here we are exhibiting the Security Treaty between Japan and the United States of America (former Japan-US Security Treaty) along with related historical materials. The original document of the treaty was transferred to the Diplomatic Archives in September of 2021, and it was signed between Japan and the United States on September 8, 1951. The signatures were added on the very afternoon that the San Francisco Peace Treaty was also signed. Subsequently, in 1960, the treaty was revised, yet the close relationship it fostered between Japan and the United States continues to be a cornerstone of Japan's diplomacy and security although security environment surrounding Japan has gone through drastic changes.	→Homepage(HTML)
