  200th anniversary of the birth of Kaisyu Katsu “Kaisyu X Ryoma”

  Kaishu Katsu was a shogunate vassal of the Kaimei school, and it is no exaggeration to say that the encounter between Kaishu and Ryoma changed the history of the end of the Edo period.
  Ryoma was a Tosa samurai who had deserted his domain, but by becoming Kaishu’s disciple, he was able to meet top-notch people and engage in free-spirited activities.
  On the other hand, Kaishu led the peace conference of the Second Shogunate’s War, the “Itsukushima Talks,” and the bloodless surrender of Edo Castle with success, leaving achievements comparable to those of Ryoma.
  In this special exhibition, we will follow the footsteps of Kaishu and Ryoma.
