    [Tokushima City Tokushima Castle Museum]

    Opened in October 1992 as a museum to collect and exhibit art and craft materials ・ on the history of the Tokushima domain and the feudal lord Hachisuka family. The name Tokushima Castle Museum is derived from the fact that it was built on the site of Tokushima Castle, the former residence of the Hachisuka family. The building is in the shoin-zukuri style, reminiscent of an Edo period palace.
    In the permanent exhibition, there is a "Whale ship, Senkoku (Senmon), Marujo (Maru)" （ designated as a National Important Cultural Property ） and a 1:50 scale "reconstruction model of Tokushima Castle Palace" built in 1857 at the end of the Edo period. In addition to the six exhibitions held during the year, various events are also held. For more information, please visit

    [Hachisuka family, feudal lord of Tokushima]
    Hachisuka Village, Kaito-gun, Owari Province （ A powerful family in Ama City, Aichi Prefecture ）. Masakatsu served Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and became the lord of Tatsuno Castle in Harima Province in 1581, with 53,000 koku. Masakatsu's son, Iemasa, also served Hideyoshi, and after his attack on Shikoku in 1585, he became a feudal lord of 175,700 koku in Awa Province. During the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Iemasa went into hiding and his heir, Ieshin, followed his father-in-law, Tokugawa Ieyasu, to the battlefield, and was granted possession of Awa Province after the war. In 1615, he was granted Awaji Province for his achievements in the Battle of Osaka. This made the Hachisuka family the largest feudal lords in Shikoku, with 257,000 koku in both Awa ・ and Awaji.
    The last lord of the clan, the 14th Mochiaki, was a diplomat ・ politician ・ and entrepreneur during the Meiji period, serving as governor of Tokyo and chairman of the House of Peers, and also working with Shibusawa Eiichi to establish a company.



    [Tokushima Castle]
    Built by Iemasa Hachisuka, who became a feudal lord of Awa province in 1585, as his residence. The castle site was selected by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It was completed in the following year, Tensho 14.
    The stone walls are made of Aoba blue stone （ and green schist ）, and Tokushima Castle is the only castle in Japan that is made entirely of blue stone.
    Tokushima Castle was built on the 60-meter-high castle mountain, with the main citadel, the east and west second citadels, and the west third citadel, the palace at the southern foot, and the west citadel at the western foot. A moat was built on the east side of the palace, and the Sukegawa River on the north side and the Terajima River on the south side were used as moats to fortify the defense. Tokushima Castle, which was used as the residence and government office of the feudal lord Hachisuka family during the Edo period, was dismantled after its role was completed with the Meiji period. The Eagle Gate, which remained as the symbol of Tokushima Castle, was destroyed by fire in an air raid in July 1945. It was restored in 1989 with a donation from a philanthropist.

    Comment from the person in charge
    In this research, we were able to confirm that "former POWs who were held at Bando POW camp", which had not been recorded before, were buried in the mountain again in Kobe ・. We were able to newly confirm that they were buried in the mountain again in Kobe .

    The existence of former POWs who were released from camps throughout Japan and settled in Kobe was also revealed, marking a new step in tracing the postwar history of POWs.

    In this exhibition, we hope to introduce the culture and stories left behind by the POWs from many angles, including these new discoveries. （ Hasegawa ）
