Yonezawa, Yamagata Pref. –
Repair work has begun for a white hood believed to have been worn by Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578), a Japanese feudal lord throughout the Sengoku Period (1482-1573), which was characterised by a collection of civil wars.
Repair work has begun for a white hood believed to have been worn by Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578), a Japanese feudal lord throughout the Sengoku Period (1482-1573), which was characterised by a collection of civil wars.
A doc prohibiting the disclosure of the white hood, now preserved at Uesugi Shrine — which honors Kenshin within the metropolis of Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture — was created within the Meiji Era (1868-1912). Therefore, its existence had not been well-known, even amongst native residents.
After the restore, the white hood, designated as an vital cultural asset by the Japanese authorities, is predicted to be flaunted to the general public in 2028, the 450th anniversary of Kenshin’s dying, or in 2030, the five hundredth anniversary of his start.
