Kanagawa: Enormous vintage collection tells its own toy story - The Japan News
By A Mystery Man Writer
Last updated 17 Jun 2024
Located in an affluent residential area of Yokohama is a privately run museum that is rare not only for the neighborhood, but for the country as a whole.
The Yokohama Museum of Tin Toys has a collection of about 3,000 clowns, robots, cars and many other types of toys crammed onto its display shelves. Even people from a different generation to the toys will feel a bit nostalgic, and be transported back to days of childlike innocence.
“We can get an idea of the trends of our culture and economy through the tin toys,” said staff member Yoshiaki Furuya, 53.
Tin toys are believed to have been first created in Europe in the second half of the 19th century. Toys from that era, such as a horse-drawn carriage and a donkey, have turned dark gray as the lead in them has deteriorated with age, making one feel the passage of time.
