Thematic Exhibition 'Ii Family and Noh - Essence of Daimyo Culture'
テーマ展「井伊家と能―大名文化の精華―」
A themed exhibition exploring the relationship between the Ii family and Noh will be held at the Hikone Castle Museum. This event will showcase how Noh was embraced as the official culture of the shogunate during the Edo period and enjoyed by daimyo across various domains, with a focus on the Hikone domain's Ii family. Inside the museum, exquisite Noh tools and ancient documents passed down by the Ii family will be on display, offering insight into the daimyo's passion for Noh at the time.
The exhibition particularly highlights Noh masks and costumes, with their magnificent and splendid craftsmanship. Additionally, precious ancient documents owned exclusively by the Ii family will be revealed, offering a deeper understanding of the historical background.
The ancient documents handed down by the Ii family are being publicly exhibited for a limited time, making them a rare opportunity not to be missed. This unique exhibition will offer visitors a special experience.
For those interested in culture, this exhibition, which showcases the beauty and history of Noh, is a must-visit. Don't miss this chance to see valuable exhibits usually inaccessible to the public.
