An excerpt from the University of Tokyo Museum's stone tool collection:
★ Planned as a publication for the 130th anniversary of the University of Tokyo, this is a collection of photographs of the rare stone tool collection accumulated at the General Research Museum.
★ The subjects selected were over 100 stone tools, stone axes, stone swords, and stone hoes, chosen from the three departments of prehistory, archaeology, and archaeological art.
★ The photographs of the stone tools, taken using advanced photographic techniques, are both mysterious in their impression and enveloped in the intellectual and academic atmosphere unique to the university, making them a perfect subject for the University of Tokyo's anniversary publication.

・A collaboration by Yoshiaki Nishino, Kenya Hara, and Yoshihiko Ueda. Through Ueda's photographs, the stone tools that humanity has used for over a million years strongly and coolly affect our senses, transcending time and space.
