From May 2, a special exhibition, “Know Amaamashi Castle Project,” will be held at Amagasaki Castle in Amagasaki City until May 31! Project” is being held at Amagasaki Castle in Amagasaki City until May 31.
Event to deepen learning about Amagasaki Castle
After the Osaka Summer Campaign, the Edo Shogunate had Toda Ujitetsu, a feudal lord of the Edo period, build Amagasaki Castle in 1617 to serve as a base for controlling the western part of Osaka. From the following year, 1618, the castle was built over a period of several years as a vast castle (equivalent to about 3.5 times the size of Koshien Stadium) with a three-layered moat and a four-story castle tower in a 300-meter square area within the present-day North and South Castle.
This event was planned to provide visitors with an opportunity to learn more about Amagasaki Castle while having fun at the same time through exhibitions and other activities.
At the venue, “Amagasaki Joe-kun” and “Dr. Shirou Castle”, characters of Amagasaki Castle designed by Akiko Miyako, an essay cartoonist and illustrator living in Kobe City, appeared.
Under the guidance of the two, visitors can learn about Amagasaki Castle, Amagasaki, and castles, and then take part in a quiz. There will be great prizes for those who answer all the questions correctly (first-come, first-served basis, ends when all the answers are gone).
Enjoy learning about the history of the castle
In addition, visitors can create their own original character based on the motif of Amagasaki Castle, and there is also a spot where visitors can take a commemorative photo with an illustration by Akiko Miyako. <A word from the reporter>
Locals often don’t have the chance to learn about castles in depth, so this might be a good opportunity to learn more about them.
