Notification of the Feature Exhibition "Spears Drawn by Hokusai"

From May 23(Tue) to June 11 (Sun), we exhibit “Spears Drawn by Hokusai” as a feature exhibition in the Exhibition Plus room. In the part of "Sketches by Hokusai" Corner in the same exhibition room, we show seven drawing manual books by Hokusai depicting spears and a real spear used in the Siege of Osaka in 1615, only for a limited number of days. Let your imagination run wild, please enjoy Hokusai's descriptive power by comparing his drawing manual books such as “Sketches by Hokusai” and the real spear in our museum collection which was handed down to the Mizuno family, Shingu domain (today’s Shingū city, Wakayama prefecture).
