Until Apr 6
SHARE
After the Summer Siege of Osaka, Osaka under the Toyotomi period underwent a major transformation with the rebuilding of the castle and the development of the surrounding area by the Tokugawa clan, which became the foundation of modern Osaka. Although the castle tower burned down in the mid-17th century, Osaka Castle continued to be loved by the people for a long time, and was called "Kinjo" (Chinese Castle) and "Hanajo" (Flower Castle). 400 years have passed since the rebuilding of Osaka Castle. This exhibition will provide a three-dimensional interpretation of the form of the castle in Osaka during the Tokugawa period and the appearance of the town that existed alongside the castle.
The Honmaru Palace existed in Tokugawa Osaka Castle until the end of the Edo period. This palace was built as the residence of the Tokugawa Shogun and was decorated with sliding screen paintings by the Kano school. This exhibition will display detailed replicas (1/10 scale) of the Great Hall and the Copper Palace of the Osaka Castle. Please enjoy the exhibits along with reference materials such as Kano Tan'yū's works, construction-related materials, and a folding screen depicting Osaka in the early Edo period.
