[Miyagi] All the super valuable materials owned by the Date family! Go to Sendai City Museum!

Sendai City Museum is a museum located on the ruins of Sendai Castle's Sannomaru.
Many materials related to Sendai's history, art, and culture are on display.
The museum also exhibits cultural assets donated by the Sendai Date family, descendants of Date Masamune, so it can be said that the museum has a very high historical value.

Sendai City Museum is surrounded by greenery, so it's fun to visit during the fresh green season.
This time, let's introduce how to enjoy Sendai City Museum!

The permanent exhibition is changing! ? New permanent exhibitions every season!

A museum is divided into a permanent exhibition zone and a special exhibition zone, with the same materials always on display in the permanent exhibition zone.
There are probably many people who are satisfied with a movie after seeing it once, and then don't watch it again for a while.
However, the permanent exhibition at the Sendai City Museum is unique and makes you want to visit again and again every season!

The secret is that the exhibits change with the seasons.
The Sendai City Museum displays approximately 1,000 items out of a collection of approximately 97,000 items.
The theme of the zone called ``Seasonal Permanent Exhibitions'' changes with the seasons, and the exhibits change accordingly.

The exhibits change four times a year, in spring, summer, fall, and winter, so you'll want to visit again and again!

Sendai City Museum’s location will delight history buffs

Sendai City Museum is a city museum built in a corner of Aobayama Park.
It's easy to access from Sendai Station, and it's nice to have free parking.
Furthermore, the location of the Sendai City Museum hides a secret that history buffs will love.

In fact, this Sendai City Museum is built on land that was once used as the Sannomaru of Sendai Castle!
It's impossible not to think about the passage of time!

The location of the Sendai City Museum is explained in detail in the permanent exhibition, so be sure to check it out so you don't miss it!

Don't forget to check it out! Super valuable collection materials

If you visit the Sendai City Museum, there are some materials you should definitely check out.
What we must never forget are the materials related to the Keicho Mission to Europe, which are both national treasures and UNESCO Memory of the World heritage sites.
There are about 50 materials related to Tsunenaga Hasekura, who traveled by sea to Europe during the Edo period to negotiate trade with Spain, including his portrait, his Roman citizenship certificate, and a portrait of Pope Paul V. .
Hasekura Tsunenaga's portrait is a familiar one that appears in history textbooks and collections, so it's a must-see!

In addition, items related to the Sendai domain, such as important cultural properties such as Date Masamune's utensils and jinbaori, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's utensi, concubines of the third lord of the Sendai domain, Tsunamune, and obi for Hatsuko Misawa, can only be seen here. This is an invaluable resource.
We also have the armor worn by Misawa Hatsuko's son Tsunamura, the fourth lord of the domain, when he was two years old.
Armor and helmets for infants are very rare, so you'll definitely want to take a look at them.

Depending on the content of the permanent exhibition, some items may not be on display, so we recommend checking each season.

After visiting the museum

Sendai City Museum is a historic park designated as a national historic site.
There are many remains of Sendai Castle, monuments, and sculptures.

There are items related to Sendai, such as the bust of Date Masamune, the monument of Tsunenaga Hasekura, and the monument of Shihei Hayashi, as well as the monument and bust of Lu Xun, the father of Chinese literature (because he spent his youth in Sendai). It is dotted with a variety of attractions, including those of deeply cultural figures.

What you should definitely see is the sculpture ``Infinite Trails'' in Goshikinuma.
In fact, Goshikinuma is the birthplace of Japanese figure skating.
``Infinite Trails'' is a sculpture created to commemorate this.
Considering that this birthplace later produced gold medalists such as Shizuka Arakawa and Yuzuru Hanyu, you will be deeply moved by this experience!
