Learn about history! What kind of person was Minamoto no Yoshitsune?
Commonly known as the "Genpei Period" on the Seto Inland Sea side of what is now Hyogo Prefecture and Okayama Prefecture
There were many battles between the Taira and Minamoto clans.
Minamoto no Yoshitsune, in the Battle of Ichinotani,
"Yoshitsune's Reverse Attack" was a surprising strategy that resulted in victory.
This area faces the Seto Inland Sea,
The terrain is characterized by few plains and mountains directly to the north.
The Taira clan built their camp in the plains with the mountains behind them.
The Taira clan was preparing to fight the Minamoto forces from the east, west, or sea.
They rode horses down the slope behind the northern mountain where the Taira clan was camped.
The Heike camp was attacked from a direction they had never expected, causing chaos and total collapse.
They escaped by boat.
This battle quickly turned the tide of the war in favor of the Minamoto clan.
It was "Yoshitsune's Reverse Attack at the Battle of Ichinotani."
Minamoto no Yoshitsune was a man of great ingenuity and the ability to execute tactics that would take his opponents by surprise.
Tomomi Kato is the first Japanese traditional armor craftsman .
Tomomi Kato's characteristics include:
This is a faithful reproduction of the armor making techniques of the Genpei era, Muromachi and Kamakura periods.
The black kozane parts are made by hand using a Japanese paper-based material that has undergone a lacquering process.
After more than 10 coats, the finish is firmly hardened with a cashew coating.
"Tsurubashiri" is a bowstring that glides smoothly.
We also incorporate techniques such as using tanned deer leather.
We are making dolls for the May festival.
"Bow and Sword"
The bow and sword are not used for fighting, but are displayed together with the helmet as a talisman to ward off evil spirits.
It was believed that the gods resided in the long bow.
Displaying a bow and a sword on both sides means
The retainers are standing by his side and wearing the armor of a general.
It has the role of protecting us.
Although it is a small sword, it is the highest quality wooden sword in the industry.
The brown sheath is not made of plastic, but is an authentic wooden item.
In addition, the coating is called "Nashiji-nuri"
The finish is achieved using a topcoat technique in which gold powder is mixed and applied.
Fletching is the feathers attached to an arrow.
It is believed that gods reside in long bows, and they are used to ward off evil spirits.
The tsuba also contained the samurai's hopes for victory in battle and prosperity for their family.
The sword was considered the perfect tool for self-defense and to ward off evil spirits.
The sheath is placed on top and the handle that is held in the hand is placed on the bottom.
This is the sword that kids will want to play with when they grow up.
"Taiwan folding screen"
The height of the screen is 54 cm.
The total length is 72 cm.
On a thin, light beige spun cloth,
The pattern is an elegant gold design of "pine trees on waves."
I wanted you to feel the elegance and fashion,

If you look closely at the picture from different angles,
Sparkling and various colors appear and disappear.
The reason is that the process of producing seven colors called holograms
This is because the gold leaf is applied before painting.
