Hamamatsu City History Museum

Very interesting and informative museum but not so much English explanation.

Clean & Green.

I visited for the purpose of a special exhibition of Hamamatsu Castle. At the permanent venue, things that show the history of Hamamatsu from ancient times to modern times are exhibited in chronological order, and it was a very educational facility. In the special exhibition, various pictures of Hamamatsu Castle were exhibited, and I enjoyed comparing the touches of each picture and comparing the layout of the modern town while watching the huge diorama of the castle town.

I went to see the special exhibition "Hamamatsu Castle-From Construction to the Present". It was interesting to see various pictures of Hamamatsu Castle on display. Even so, it seems that there are no materials left for the castle tower built by Yoshiharu Horio. Was it also the reason why I had to bury it in the darkness? I also saw the permanent exhibition. There were many interesting exhibits from Naumann elephant to Showa. However, one thing I was interested in was the exhibition about Naotora Ii. It seems that this museum also thinks Naotora was a woman. If you say something like this, you may be called the "Tondemo-bon theory", which is "unfashionable", but let me say it without fear of misunderstanding. I think Naotora was a man. It is true that Naotora is written as a woman in the "Ii Family Genealogy", but that book was written long after Naotora died. Such things should have low material value. On the other hand, are there any kinds of letters, diaries, and memorandums that people of the same age as Naotora wrote that Naotora was a woman? I don't think there is such a thing. The story of Otazu no kata, who played an active part in the battle of Hikuma Castle, remains, so if Naotora was a woman, there should be a record of the same era. Although it is a reproduction, Naotora's letter is displayed in the museum, but Naotora's Kao is placed there. At that time, Kao was used only by men. Jukei-ni, the mother of Yoshimoto Imagawa, who is also known as the female Sengoku daimyo, did not use Kao. I use a stamp instead of Kao. Why do you say that Naotora was a woman while exhibiting items that show that Naotora was a man? Maybe it's because NHK, who thinks Naotora is a woman, and the world are thinking about it. If so, is it an overstatement to say that there is no choice but to say Kakugaku Ayo? It's been a long time, but one last word. I would like to ask all concerned parties to reconsider.

It was the first time since I was renewed. Oh, chicly transformed ❗️ The Naumann elephant, the shell mound layer, and the human bone were displayed in an easy-to-understand and stylish (?) fashion. Both adults and children can enjoy it. I wish I had a Haniwa or Kaizuka key chain. Ruins of Hamamatsu City. I wish there was a tomb map (for amateurs) that I could check and check. The map in the museum may be academic, but it is too expensive to buy.
