The Kayas (加耶) were a group of nations that existed in the southern part of the Korean peninsula around the same time as the Kofun period on the Japanese archipelago, and were active in cooperation and sometimes competition with each other. They operated maritime trade and iron production as a single entity and achieved great growth in the 6th century, while maintaining contacts with Shiragi in the east, Baekje in the west, ancient Japan across the sea, and even China in the distance. However, between the two powerful kingdoms of Silla and Baekje, its power gradually weakened and it was destroyed in 562. With the full cooperation of the National Museum of Korea, this exhibition displays approximately 220 artifacts excavated from the tombs of Gaya, including gold and silver jewelry, beautiful earthenware, weapons and harnesses that demonstrate military prowess, iron that served as a foundation for growth, and foreign objects that show foreign negotiations, in order to reveal Gaya's history from its beginnings to its rapid growth and destruction. The exhibition will reveal the history of Kaya from its origins, to its rise and fall, to its destruction. This is the first time in 30 years that the greatest treasures of the Kaya have been exhibited in one place in Japan.
This exhibition will also consider the transition of exchange between Kaya and Japan. Kaya was one of the societies with which the Yamato interacted most closely. Through exchanges with Kaya, the Yamato acquired advanced information, techniques and tools of the time and established them as part of their own culture. These included hard pottery called Sue ware, iron tools, metalwork, horse breeding, irrigation, and cooking utensils such as steamers and new heating ・ and kitchen facilities （ Kamado ）. The 5th century, when this movement was most active, is sometimes called the "century of technological innovation. In order to understand the history of Japan, it is necessary to look at the history of Kaya as well.
Through this exhibition, visitors will experience the history of Kaya across the sea, and will be reminded of the longstanding exchange between the two regions of Japan and Korea that continues today and into the future.
