The Communication Museum is in the NTT Corporation’s headquarters building. It is in the center of Otemachi, one of the busiest business districts in Tokyo.
The museum displays goods related to postal services as well as telecommunications. They include: a model of postal office in the 19th century, stamps, posts, old telecommunication devices, fiber cables, telephones, and many other thins.
It is the season to start writing new-year greeting cards. The cards, known as nengajo, still play important role in keeping ties between people (even it is the time of e-mail). The museum was holding a special exhibition of nengajo.
Japanese postal services and telecommunication services started under the government’s operations. The services were later separated and were run by public companies such as NTT and Japan Post.
NTT was privatized in the 1980s although Finance Minister remains the largest shareholder.
Japan Post privatization law was enacted in 2005 under the Koizumi Administration. The plan is about to be reversed under the Democratic Party of Japan’s government in 2009.
