In volume 8, through various designed products, we introduce scenes of daily life and the atmosphere of the 1930s, an era that was at the forefront of the 20th Century lifestyle. Unlike in previous exhibitions, we are able to display quite a few objects in one place, even large-scale products, beautiful chrome-plated streamlined furniture and colorful kitchenware items that clearly led to the styles of the 1950s. There are more than 200 objects available for public view in this exhibition, pieces that could be seen as representing the roots of the American lifestyle, and which also greatly influenced postwar Japan. It offers a wealth of material reminiscent of modern life in the 1930s.
