The most genuine replica of the Golden Seal is on sale! We are very serious about the quality!

This is something personal and you probably don’t care, but I have been working for the museum for 3 months now. Throughout these 3 months, I’ve witnessed our curators and staff working really hard on “The Great Amazon Exhibition.” Seeing that so many people are visiting the exhibition makes me feel really happy. I’m not the one to whom the effort should be attributed, but I’m happy regardless.

One day, my boss, Mr. Iwasa, who appears in this blog on occasion, told me to go to the curator’s office by saying, “There is something interesting going on there. It can be a good topic for your blog.” Look what I found there.

A desk full of golden seals!

This is a scene of our curators doing the final quality check for the Kinin replicas (Golden seal replicas) before sending them out to museum shops. What makes this replica special is that each one of them is carefully checked by our curators to ensure the good quality. There are many replicas of Kin-in, golden seals sold in markets, but we can proudly say that this is the one that most resembles the real thing!

How serious our curators look inspecting these replicas! These two are Mr. Honda and Ms. Fukuzono. They are in charge of the Great Amazon Exhibition as well! Look how busy they are!
A lady standing at the door is Ms. Yamamoto from Fukuoka City Foundation for Arts and Cultural Promotion.

And Mr. Morimoto. He looks so professional with his white gloves! The finalization of the replica is an exclusive job for curators who specialize in Archeology. I feel so bad for not being able to help them. (Honestly!)

Why don’t we take a look at a golden seal that was not qualified to be sold? The reason for the defect status is that it has too much gold on the surface. Well, if you say so…

Check out the ideal golden seal we have here.

It looks good, but I thought the other one was fine as well… This confirms that I’m not qualified as a quality checker by any means.

Why don’t you get replicas of a national treasure for your history or treasure loving friends? You can find it on sale at our museum shop located on the first floor!
