Yamagata
Keishoden Hall stands within the precincts of Uesugi Shrine, located on the former inner keep of Yonezawa Castle. The hall preserves a remarkable collection of cultural treasures associated with Uesugi Kenshin, Kagekatsu, Naoe Kanetsugu, and Lord Harunori (Yozan), including archival documents, armour, swords, calligraphy, and lacquerware. Displays of Sengoku-period armour and weaponry convey a vivid sense of the era’s martial spirit. The name Keishoden derives from the phrase Keiko Teru Kon in the preface to the Kojiki, expressing the idea of learning from the past to guide the present. The hall offers insight into the heritage and cultural legacy of the Uesugi clan.
You can spend a lot of time just looking at the exhibits at museums and art galleries, but why not take part in the exhibitions and events held at various locations? Its charm is overwhelming, and some fans say they have fallen in love with museums and art galleries because of the special exhibitions. It is also refreshing to visit local shrines and temples and admire the Buddhist statues and gardens. There are some temples where you can experience meditation, sutra copying, etc., so why not knock on the gate and try a little spiritual training?
