Furuhashi Kaikokan Inabu Autumn Leaves Festival Special Exhibition: Sengoku of the Thousand Gourds - Warlords Associated with Hideyoshi

About this event

At the Furuhashi Kaikokan in Inabu-cho, Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, the autumn special exhibition "Sennari Hyotan no Sengoku: Warlords Associated with Hideyoshi" will be held on Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays in November 2026. Taking Toyotomi Hideyoshi's symbol, the "Sennari Hyotan" (thousand-gourd banner), as a key theme, this exhibition displays historical documents and artifacts associated with Sengoku warlords such as Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Kato Kiyomasa, and Maeda Toshiie. Featured items include Utagawa Kuniyoshi's painting "The Great Battle of Kawanakajima", armor, helmets, spears, short swords, command fans (gunbai), as well as Nobunaga's camp assignment plan, Hideyoshi's vermilion seal letters, and Ieyasu's handwritten documents. In addition, portraits and letters of Kato Kiyomasa, along with letters and equestrian paintings of Maeda Toshiie, will be exhibited, giving insight into the figures of warlords who supported Hideyoshi. Through a wide variety of materials including letters, red-seal documents, weaponry, and paintings, visitors can catch a glimpse of the Sengoku warring era. Concurrently, "From Cocoon to Thread, From Thread to Cloth", introducing Inabu's sericulture and silk-reeling culture, will also be on display, where exquisite cocoon flowers can be appreciated. Visitors can freely participate in a "Cocoon Fragment Art Experience", and a photo spot inspired by the wings of silkworm moths will be set up. In addition, the Inabu Autumn Leaves Festival is held concurrently, featuring illuminations at Oidaira Park.
