First Featured Exhibition of 2023: “Ieyasu, a Life of Twists and Turns”

Period	About	Link
Saturday, April 15, 2023 to Sunday, June 11 9:15 AM to 5:00 PM Open daily, including weekends and holidays.	The National Archives of Japan has inherited many books from the former Fujiminotei Bunko (later known as the Momijiyama Bunko), which was founded by TOKUGAWA Ieyasu. The holdings have been carefully preserved and made accessible. This exhibition entitled “Ieyasu, a Life of Twists and Turns” will feature the Edo Shogunate’s old book collections, primarily from Momijiyama Bunko. We will examine TOKUGAWA Ieyasu’s life from three significant perspectives: from his battles, from the diverse vassals who served him, and from the archives of published documents and records.	→PDF →Homepage(HTML)
