The Metropolitan Police Department Staff Art Exhibition began on December 3rd at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store and will conclude on December 8th, marking its 70th and final iteration. The exhibition, which started in 1955, is being terminated because it has "fulfilled its role" in promoting police work. The venue displays 97 works, including Japanese paintings, calligraphy, and photographs, created by police officers and staff in their spare time. Superintendent General Yuji Sakota, who exhibited a calligraphy piece titled "Seven Falls, Eight Rises," stated at the opening ceremony that he hopes visitors will see a different side of the staff. The event, originally known as the "Police Officer Art Exhibition," is concluding because police work and approachability are now widely communicated through platforms like social media.
