Tokyo, Sep 10, 2009 (JCN Newswire via COMTEX) -- MSBHY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) is proud to announce its sponsorship of the exhibition The Power of Dogu: Ceramic figures from ancient Japan at the world renowned British Museum. The exhibition has been co-organised with the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Japan, and the Tokyo National Museum, and marks the first ever opportunity for these remarkable and captivating artefacts to be brought together outside Japan. It will run from 10 September to 22 November 2009.

Dogu is the Japanese term for clay figurines produced during the Jomon period (approx. 12,500-300BC). These fascinating figurines have distinct human or animal features and have been excavated from numerous sites across the Japanese archipelago. The exhibition will feature sixty-seven Dogu, including three that have been designated National Treasures of Japan, including Dogū with palms pressed together from Aomori prefecture, assigned this special status by the Japanese government in 2009. Many of the remaining figurines that will be on display are ranked as Important Cultural Properties and Important Art Objects, and this is the first time that such a wide range of Dogū have been brought together in a single exhibition.

MC's commitment to social responsibility is embodied in its corporate philosophy and demonstrated through its extensive programme of cultural, environmental and educational projects worldwide. As part of this global commitment, Mitsubishi Corporation announced a 10 year partnership with the British Museum in 2008 to sponsor the permanent galleries dedicated to Japanese culture in the Museum. The Dogu exhibition is an additional sponsorship for 2009, and is also part of a series of Japan-UK 150 events, to celebrate 150 years of friendship between the two countries.
