On August 1, 2026, the "Summer Vacation History Class" will be held at the Ryozen Hisakikan, a museum dedicated to the Bakumatsu and Restoration era. Located in Higashiyama, Kyoto, near the grave of Sakamoto Ryoma, the museum houses precious artifacts related to the historical figures and clans of the late Edo period. This program aims to go beyond textbook learning, allowing children to deepen their understanding of Japanese history and culture through immersive experiences.
The highlight of this event is the opportunity for children to engage actively with the museum's precious collection. Rather than just reading about the turbulent Bakumatsu era, participants will gain a three-dimensional understanding by interacting with the historical context and artifacts. It is an excellent opportunity for children to find inspiration for their summer research projects and spark a lifelong interest in Japanese history.
