Rakuchu Rakugai Replica








 If you ever visited Gifu City Museum of History, you have probably visited the Sengoku Warland on the second floor. It is probably one of the best replicas of a Sengoku village besides Ichijodani (Asakura clan) located in Fukui. If you noticed closely at noren (shop curtain) they represent the ones in the famous byobu Rakuchu Rakugai (folding screen) painted by Kano Eitoku (1543-90). Actually Nobunaga aquired the Rakuchu Rakugai probably in the late 1560s. He later gave the folding screen as a present to Uesugi Kenshin (1530-78) of Echigo in 1574. 

Tenka no tame!
