ITOKI CORPORATION (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Koji Minato) has supplied display cases to the Ise City History Museum (Ise City, Mie Prefecture), which opened in April 2026.

The Ise City Museum of History aims to serve as a "hub for connecting the history of Ise to the future," widely disseminating the history of Ise City and its local traditional culture, while fostering an understanding of history and culture, as well as a sense of attachment and pride in the local area. For the opening of the museum, Itoki's display cases have been adopted as part of the exhibition environment, which appropriately protects historical materials and cultural properties while conveying their appeal to visitors.

Museums not only preserve and display historical materials and cultural artifacts, but also play a vital role in passing on the unique history and culture of a region to future generations and sharing it with many people. To achieve this, the design of the entire exhibition environment is essential, including not only the exhibits themselves, but also the glass of the display cases, the lighting, and the harmony with the exhibition space. Furthermore, when changing exhibits, a working environment is required that allows curators to handle valuable cultural artifacts and historical materials safely and carefully.

For many years, Itoki has developed and manufactured display cases that meet the unique needs of art museums and museums, and has supplied them to cultural facilities throughout Japan. In the case of the Ise City History Museum, display cases have been adopted as part of the exhibition environment.

For many years, Itoki has been involved in creating exhibition environments that support the protection and display of valuable cultural properties and works of art and craft, including national treasures and important cultural properties, through the development and manufacture of display cases for art museums and museums.

Display cases are not only essential for protecting cultural properties, but also for creating an exhibition environment that conveys their history, value, and appeal to visitors. ITOKI will continue to contribute to the preservation and development of Japanese culture and art by creating exhibition environments in museums and art galleries throughout Japan, thereby passing on the value of cultural properties and historical materials to future generations.

The Ise City History Museum opened in April 2026 as a "hub for connecting the history of Ise to the future." It aims to widely disseminate the history and traditional culture of Ise City, and to deepen understanding of Ise City's history and culture, fostering a sense of attachment and pride in the region through the collection, preservation, research, and exhibition of historical materials, as well as educational outreach activities. Furthermore, it contributes to regional development by collaborating with other museums in the city and serving as a hub for disseminating information on cultural tourism.
