The Chinese zodiac sign for the year 2025 is the snake. With its long, patterned body and the iconic way it moves, snakes have been both feared and respected by people throughout history. Seen as a messenger of the gods, a symbol of life, wisdom, and even obsession, the snake has taken on many meanings across cultures around the world. To start the new year, this exhibition brings together snakes from the diverse collections of Keio University and invites you to explore the vivid and slightly mysterious world of these captivating animals.
