和歌山城天守閣・和歌山市立博物館
Wakayama Castle and Wakayama City Museum
Überblick
Wakayama Castle was the seat of the Kii Tokugawa clan — one of the Three Gosanke branches of the Tokugawa family and the clan that produced two shoguns: the reforming 8th Shogun Yoshimune and the last Shogun Yoshinobu. As one of Japan's most important daimyo families, the Kii Tokugawa accumulated an exceptional collection of swords from the shogunate, allied daimyo, and official clan swordsmiths. The castle tower museum displays Kii Tokugawa arms and armor. The adjacent Wakayama City Museum covers the broader history of Wakayama, including the rich sword-dedication culture of the Kumano Sanzan shrines — three of Japan's most sacred pilgrimage sites where high-ranking swords were dedicated by emperors, shoguns, and daimyo for centuries.
