Group images of women and men revived in modern times The Manyo Costume Exhibition – Resurrection of Asuka – is being held at the National Asuka Historical Park Kitora Kofun Museum of the Four Gods from November 12th (Tuesday) to December 15th (Sunday). With the cooperation of Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a Manyo costume designer, we created a book titled “Prince Naka no Oe before the Itsumi Incident”, a major change in the Asuka period. Nakatomi Kamatari,” “Emperor Saimei before the Battle of Shiramurako,” and “Emperor Tenmu and Jito after the Jinshin War,” are displayed in diorama style. We are doing so. In addition, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the Takamatsuzuka Tumulus mural painting being designated as a national treasure on April 17, 1972. As this year marks a turning point, we have also recreated the female and male statues on the mural. Also, during the Asuka period, there were various exchanges with China and the countries of the Korean Peninsula. A photo exhibition is currently being held that conveys the similarities between Asuka and Baekje, which are proof of their international connections, and the charm of the Takamatsuzuka Tumulus murals.

In response to this request for assistance, Japan dispatched its military. At this time, Emperor Saimei, Prince Nakano-oe, and King Nukata-no-okimi were also present. “When a sailor approaches Nigitatsu, he waits for the moon, and the tide is gone, so now he has to start rowing.” (Meaning) As we waited for the moon to set sail at Nikitatsu, the tide finally started to pick up. Now, it’s time to set sail. This song was written in January of the 7th year of Saimei (661 A.D.) on the way to Kyushu, while staying at Nikitatsu (now Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture) and planning the timing of the next voyage. . It is also said to be a song of Emperor Saimei. Please note that the background photo is an image.
