Special Exhibition -THE GREAT BATTLE OF SEKIGAHARA
Battle of Sekigahara, recognized as the biggest battle in the Sengoku era, broke out in 1600. Tokugawa Ieyasu won the next position as Shogun after Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s death. Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate after the battle. This meant the Sengoku period (Warring States period) ended and started a new era, which was well-known as the Edo era. It lasted about 300 years.
This exhibition will be held to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu’s death, and will display a wide range of historical properties related to this battle such as armor, swords, folding screens, scrolls, etc.
This would be a good opportunity to see the most famous moment in Japanese history and understand the spirit of Bushido.
