Guida
This is a commemorative lecture titled "Imperial Court Rituals and Shokoku-ji in the Edo Period," held at the Shokoku-ji Shoten-kaku Museum. During the Edo period, a time of significant transition in Japan, how did Shokoku-ji evolve? This lecture focuses on the relationship between Emperor Go-Mizunoo and Zen Buddhism, the close ties with the Imperial Court, and the history of the temple treasures that were either preserved or lost. It offers a deep dive into history based on professional expertise.
The main attraction is the commentary by Kazutoshi Fujita, a specialist in Shokoku-ji's history. You will hear detailed accounts based on historical documents regarding the connection between Edo-period imperial culture and Shokoku-ji, as well as how the temple maintained its status during the Meiji Restoration. Understanding the stories behind the precious materials on display will make your visit to the museum even more profound.
The lecture will be held on the following date. Doors open 30 minutes before the start time, so please arrive early.
The venue is the 2nd Floor Lecture Hall of the Shokoku-ji Shoten-kaku Museum.
