Julian Ramírez RTGAmbassador On display were surviving artifacts from the time period, which allowed the viewer to not only see traditional Japanese art but also get a glimpse into the lives of the former inhabitants. An example of this was the reproductions of the armor worn by the samurai of the castle. This was a reminder that the area was once a bloody battlefield, and many died wearing armor similar to those in display. Also on display, were traditional Japanese folding screens known as by?bu, which depicted scenes from the summer war. These screens are both artistic masterpieces and valuable historical documents that illustrate key events and daily life during the battle. One of my favorite exhibits was the diorama of the summer of 1615, which featured detailed models of the samurai warriors of both sides as they attacked and defended Osaka Castle. The museum has so many artifacts that you would have to spend hours on each floor to absorb all of them fully. Overall, the trip to Osaka Castle was a very culturally enriching experience. The museum and its exhibits allowed us to learn about Japan and its past and see how they preserve their past as they move into the future. I left with a profound appreciation for the history and culture of both Japan and Osaka, which has left me wanting to return for more.
