This time, you’ll have a special up-close look at the preservation and restoration work on items such as the “Akechi Mitsuhide Kakujojo,” a gift sent by Akechi Mitsuhide to Hosokawa Fujitaka and Tadaoki after the Honnoji Incident. Witness the impressive work of a nationally certified restorer, who describes the process as “adding water, putting it on the fire…it’s just like cooking.” Furthermore, Shosoin, a World Heritage Site with a history spanning approximately 1,300 years, is undergoing more than just repairs to preserve its treasures for future generations.
