Mitsui Memorial Museum "The Beauty of Masamune Hyuga and Warlords" Exhibition begins

"Masamune Hinata", which is characterized by the big hit ONLINE game "Token Ranbu" and is very popular with "Token Girls", finally appears, and the Mitsui Memorial Museum is not "great congestion", but can be slowly faced with famous swords. This is because we have a reservation system for admission due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Mitsui Memorial Museum holds six national treasures, but do you know what the other three points, "Shino Chawan / Ukabana", "Yukimatsu Figure Screen", and "Kumano Miyukiki", which are often open to the public? You can see the remaining two points this time.

It is the two strikes of "Tachina Mumei Masamune famous Masamune Hinata Masamune" and "Tachina Mumei Sadamune famous product Tokuzenji Sadamune". In the release of the museum, the purpose of the project was "We have not held exhibitions centered on swords since the museum opened, but also include the sword boom symbolized by 'Token Ranbu' and the meaning of purifying the demon of this coronavirus ... ". The "Kyo no Katana Exhibition" held in 2018 was a terrible crowd that symbolized the recent sword boom. This time, "All famous swords from the museum's collection" including the above-mentioned two national treasures and seven heavy sentences are exhibited.

For this reason, gallery space 4's "Sword / Painting" is a bit congested. There are people who have never moved before their favorite swords or swords. Even so, the "sword girl" population more than I imagined. This is the first time I have seen such young, quite young (high school or university students) overflowing with this museum.

As you may all know, "Masamune Hyuga" is owned by Mitsunari Ishida and is called "Masamune Hyuga" because it was obtained by the Eastern Army's Mizuno Hinatamori Katsunari during the battle of Sekigahara. In "Token Ranbu", it has been made a handsome character as "Masamune Hinata" and is very popular with sword girls. (I purchased a special file for collaboration products!) "Tokuzenin Sadamune" is also a dagger, but "Sadamune" is said to be both a child of Masamune and a disciple. There are many works with sculptures on the sword, which are also engraved with swords and nails on the Sanskrit in Acalanatha. It is called this because Hideyoshi possessed it and one of the five magistrates, Tokuzen-in Gen, worshiped it. After that, Ieyasu was transferred to the Kishu Tokugawa family's branch, Saijo Matsudaira family. (Explanation of the museum pamphlet) An easy-to-understand explanation of "Basic knowledge of Japanese swords" is also distributed, and it is kind to beginners who appreciate swords. There are many national characters and kanji of national lessons such as "shoken" and "explanation of banaki" (Shinogi), and the taste of the Japanese who made in Japan's national character is somewhat proud of it.

As you can see in the title "Beauty of Warlords", there are plenty of exhibits other than swords. You can feel the aesthetic sense of warlords such as tea utensils, chick tools, paintings, Noh masks, and armor of warlords. I was very satisfied because I encountered a flour bowl owned by Nagayoshi Miyoshi called my favorite "Miyoshi Hobiki". If you can get something at this museum, don't hesitate to "this!" That's right.
