  • From Ieyasu to Yoshinao
    2021 Summer Special Exhibition From Ieyasu to Yoshinao The Transition to a Powerful Pre-Modern State July 17 (Sat.) - September 12 (Sun.), 2021 INTRODUCTION Striving through the sengoku (Warring States) period, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616) finally achieved the unification of the whole country. Yoshinao (1601-1650), the ninth son of Ieyasu, was assigned to govern the Owari domain during the era of peace. The two were father and son, yet they lived in contrasting times. Yoshinao, who inherited a large fortune of assets and texts from Ieyasu, established the foundations of the Owari domain and led Nagoya to prosperity. Focusing on the principles of their rule, passed down from Ieyasu to Yoshinao, this exhibition traces their lives, their administration, and Yoshinao’s feelings towards Ieyasu, as observed in historical documents and inherited objects. Part 1 Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Family, and Tokugawa Yoshinao [ Exhibits Number: 1-42 ] Exhibition Rooms at Hosa Library [Section 1] Ieyasu during the Age of the Warring States: the Eve of Yoshinao’s Birth This section deals with the dramatic changes that occurred in the latter part of Ieyasu’s life, spanning the battle of Nagakute in 1584—in which Ieyasu and Nobukatsu (the second son of Nobunaga) fought Hideyoshi after Nobunaga’s death in 1582, Ieyasu’s subsequent vassalage to Hideyoshi, and the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. [Section 2] Yoshinao during the Age of the Warring States After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the 18th of the 8th month of 1598, Ieyasu increasingly came into conflict with Hideyoshi’s heir, Hideyori, and his vassals of western Japan, led by Ishida Mitsunari.

  • Die Architektur Der Japanischen Burganlagen
    1 Vorbemerkung Die vorliegende Hausarbeit entstand im Rahmen der Veranstaltung 10.478, —Geschichte der japanischen Architektur“, unter der Leitung von Dr. Karl Hennig im Wintersemester 1999/2000 am Japanologischen Seminar der Universität Hamburg. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, herausragende Charakteristika der japanischen Burgarchitektur zu bestimmen, zu erläutern und in Beziehung zueinander zu setzen. Obwohl das Haupt- augenmerk auf der Architektur ruht, können Bezüge zur Geschichte, Politik oder Wirt- schaft der betreffenden Epoche nicht immer ausgelassen werden. Oftmals werden Entwicklungen in der Architektur nur durch die Interaktion mit anderen Bereichen ini- tiiert oder katalysiert und gerade dann scheint eine Erläuterung der Hintergründe not- wendig, wohlwissend, dass sich für eine angemessen differenzierte Betrachtung der Ma- terie im sehr begrenzten Rahmen einer Hausarbeit an vielen Stellen keine Gelegenheit findet. Daher kann keine Garantie für Vollständigkeit gewährt werden. Hamburg im März 2000 C.

  • AKASHI CASTLE Construction of Akashi Castle Was Ordered By
    AKASHI CASTLE Construction of Akashi Castle was ordered by Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate. In 1615 in the Summer Campaign of the Siege of Osaka, the Tokugawa shogunate defeated and destroyed their long- time enemy, the Toyotomi clan. However, many of the Toyotomi clan’s allies remained in western Japan. The shogunate decided to build a castle in Akashi, which was a suitable location for observing both the people travelling along the Saigoku highway as well as the ships in the Seto Inland Sea. This Akashi Castle, along with Himeji Castle which was located between the Kinai region and western Japan and whose lord was a hereditary vassal daimyo of the Tokugawa shogunate, was intended to deter the Toyotomi clan’s allies from attacking the shogunate. The construction of the inner citadel (honmaru) and second citadel (ninomaru) was directly supervised by the Tokugawa shogunate while the walls, gates and towers (yagura) were constructed by the hereditary vassal daimyo Ogasawara Tadazane. Construction began in 1619 and was completed the next year. The Tatsumi Yagura (southeast tower) and the Hitsujisaru Yagura (southwest tower) which are still standing today were rebuilt after being destroyed in a large fire in 1631. Much of the wood used in the towers is pine, and is the same wood that was used 400 years ago. Both towers are three-story yagura. Tatsumi Yagura and Hitsujisaru Yagura appear to be the same size, but Hitsujisaru Yagura is actually slightly larger and wider. It is said that Hitsujisaru Yagura was used as the tenshukaku (main keep) for Akashi Castle.
