Tokugawa Museum | Japan’s Shogun Family History in Mito
The Tokugawa Museum is one of the must stop places on a trip to Mito and Jennifer and I stopped by to see some of the artifacts here like tea cups made by the shoguns and the SWORD OF SEKIGAHARA from the battle in 1600! The original is on display along with a beautiful replica made by the 15th Tokugawa in the Family line.

Experience the real spirit of Japan: The Tokugawa Art Museum
The Tokugawa Art Museum was established under the non-profit The Tokugawa Reimeikai Foundation in 1935. The Museum ranks as the fourth oldest privately-endowed museum in Japan.
At the core of the collection are objects inherited from the first shogun, Ieyasu. The Owari, like other great daimyo, also treasured the art from earlier generations. Thus the Museum has come to own most of the extant sections of the twelfth century Illustrated Tale of Genji.
Some idea of the quality of the collection can be gleaned from the fact that besides this early masterpiece the collection includes nine other designated National Treasures, fifty-nine registered Important Cultural Properties, and forty-six Important Art Objects. The Museum is noted further for the overall fine condition of its pieces. Moreover most objects have been handed down accompanied by meticulous family documents, catalogues and other records.
These establish clear provenance and the historical background of patronage and use for the works of art. The Museum is uniquely fortunate to hold such an intact and well documented collection. It is a trove not only of beautiful things but a wealth of historic information.

【Japan Heritage】 Kodokan ［4K］Mito City｜VISIT IBARAKI, JAPAN -OTHER SIGHTS-
【Filmed Date: 2015.5.27】
The Kodokan is one of Japan’s national historical sites and important cultural properties, located in Mito city. It was the largest school of feudal domain in Japan, established by the ninth feudal lord of the Mito Clan, Nariaki Tokugawa, in 1842.
The last Shogun, Yoshinobu Tokugawa, studied at this school in his early childhood, and spent his life while he was confined after the restoration of imperial rule.
In this filming, we were able to film things we can’t normally see such as the real bird’s eye view drawing, the inside of Confucian temple, and the Kodokan-ki monument in the eight trigrams hall.

Tokugawa Art Museum
During the Edo Period (1600-1868), Nagoya served as the seat of the Owari, one of the three major branches of the ruling Tokugawa family. Regarding the great wealth the family amassed, there were only four feudal domains that surpassed out of 200 of the Edo Period. The Tokugawa Art Museum was built on the grounds of the Owari's former feudal residence and preserves and displays several of their treasures including swords and samurai armor and tea utensils, noh masks and costumes, poems, scrolls and maps.
There is a beautiful Japanese landscape garden called Tokugawa-en next to the museum, that has a large pond at its center. The garden used to be part of a retirement residence of the local lords, but was ruined during the war. In 2001 the garden was rebuilt and reopened to the public in 2004. A large network of walking trails lead around the grounds to a tea house, rest houses, and across several bridges. The best season to visit the garden is during spring, when its Peony (mid to late April) and Iris gardens (late May to early June) bloom, and during the autumn season (November).
Access information
The museum is a ten minute walk from Ozone Station on the JR Chuo, Meijo Subway, and the Meitetsu Seto Line. JR Chuo Line is frequently operated to directly connect between Ozone Station and Nagoya Station (12 minutes, 200 yen one way).
In addition, to get to the museum, the Meguru loop bus line for tourists can be used, and from Nagoya Station it takes about 40 minutes or from Nagoya Castle it takes about 15 minutes. The fare is 200 yen per ride or 500 yen for a day pass.
Hours: 10:00 to 17:00 (entry ends at 16:30)
Closed: Mondays (or following day if Monday is a national holiday)
Mid December to early January
Admission: 1200 yen for museum only, 1350 yen for museum and garden

Japan Trip 2015 Tokyo The Last Shogun Grave Tokugawa Yoshinobu Yanaka Cemetery
Tokugawa Yoshinobu (徳川 慶喜) (also known as Keiki; October 28, 1837 – November 22, 1913) was the 15th and last shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan. He was part of a movement which aimed to reform the aging shogunate, but was ultimately unsuccessful. After resigning in late 1867, he went into retirement, and largely avoided the public eye for the rest of his life.
Early life
Tokugawa Yoshinobu was born in Edo, as the seventh son of Tokugawa Nariaki, daimyo of Mito. Mito was one of the gosanke, the three branch families of the Tokugawa clan which were eligible to be chosen as shogun. His birth name was Matsudaira Shichirōma, and he was brought up under strict, spartan supervision and tutelage. He was taught in the literary and martial arts, as well as receiving a solid education in the principles of politics and government.
At the instigation of his father, Shichirōma was adopted by the Hitotsubashi-Tokugawa family in order to have a better chance of succeeding to the shogunate. He became family head in 1847, coming of age that year, receiving court rank and title, and taking the name Yoshinobu. Upon the death of the 13th shogun, Shogun Iesada, in 1858, Yoshinobu was nominated as a potential successor. His supporters touted his skill and efficiency in managing family affairs. However, the opposing faction, led by Ii Naosuke, won out. Their candidate, the young Tokugawa Yoshitomi, was chosen, and became the 14th shogun Iemochi. Soon after, during the Ansei Purge, Yoshinobu and others who supported him were placed under house arrest. Yoshinobu himself was made to retire from Hitotsubashi headship.
