Around the time when Perry’s Black Ships came to Japan (1853) and before the Meiji Restoration (1868), the scenes of Hagi Domain making steady arrangements like carrying out general military training to cope with the external crisis were painted. In spite of the situations Hagi Domain was in, which included fighting against the quadripartite allied fleets comprising the UK, Holland, France and the U.S.A., the peaceful daily lives of people living in Hagi and Hagi’s landscapes were also painted in great detail. The main exhibitions are the picture scrolls presented to Takachika Mori, the last lord of Hagi Domain. Using such historical artistic materials, we’d like to trace the path full of hardships such as the Rebellion at the Kinmon Gate of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto and the Shimonoseki Bombardment by the quadripartite allied fleets. |
