In particular, merchants were instrumental in the movement of people, goods, and ideas along the Silk Road. Without their activities, the history and culture of this region\u2014from antiquity to the present\u2014could not be fully told.<\/p><p>This special exhibition highlights \u201cMerchants\u201d as a key theme connecting the past and the present. Through archaeological artifacts excavated from ancient sites in Samarkand, as well as modern examples of embroidery, textiles, musical instruments, folk costumes, and materials related to religion and belief, the exhibition explores the activities of merchants and illustrates the rich cultural diversity, wide-ranging exchange, and vibrant trade that have characterized Central Asia through the ages.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":11249,"template":"","column_category":[],"event_category":[116],"class_list":["post-11250","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_category-other-events","en-US"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/11250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"column_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/column_category?post=11250"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-flavor.osaka-info.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=11250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
