About this event
With Toyotomi Hidenaga, a Sengoku warlord closely tied to Nara, becoming the protagonist of this year's Taiga drama and drawing attention to Nara's Sengoku period and its samurai commanders, a symposium exploring the deep connection between Horyu-ji Temple and Toyotomi Hidenaga will be held. Welcoming Surugadai University Professor Motoki Kuroda, Tenri University Professor Tadayuki Amano, and television personality/university student Toma Yamamoto-Richard, the symposium explores the true picture of Horyu-ji during the Sengoku period, which has rarely been discussed until now. It will be a valuable opportunity to discover a new side of Horyu-ji Temple, a World Heritage site that survived through the turbulent times.
