Nikko has been revered as a sacred place since the opening of the mountain about 1250 years ago. In the early Edo period, mausoleum was founded in honor of Ieyasu Tokugawa's achievements and became a sacred place that continues today. The building of Toshogu Shrine was completed in only one and a half years in 1636 (1636), but in the same way as the current factory production and local assembly, the parts crafted in Edo were transported to Nikko as a finished product. It was assembled.
The color of lacquer differs depending on the style of the building of Toshogu Shrine. We will introduce lacquer, coloring techniques, materials, etc. that have been handed down from the Edo period to Reiwa through examples of paint marks and coloring marks at the time of its foundation.
＊This lecture is a commemorative event for The Colors and Metalwork of Nikko-Revealing the mystery behind the architectural beauty of its shrines and temples, a special exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of the opening of Takenaka Carpentry Tools Museum.
