Description of Exhibition
Toyotomi Hidetsugu (1568–1595) was the nephew of the military ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He gradually rose to the position of kanpaku (chief adviser to the emperor); however, over time Hidetsugu grew apart from his powerful uncle and was eventually forced to commit suicide. Calamity also befell Hidetsugu’s wife, concubines, and children: they were executed on the Sanjō riverbank in Kyoto along with all his other family members.
The temple of Zuisen-ji was built on their execution site to mourn the souls of Hidetsugu and his family. This exhibition commemorates the 430th memorial of Toyotomi Hidetsugu’s death by showcasing artworks related to him and his clan, which are still preserved at Zuisen-ji to this day.
