Special Exhibition on Fushimi castle and Yodo castle 伏見城と淀城 at Kyoto City Archaeological Museum 京都市考古資料館

During my stay in Kyoto, there was a special exhibition on the Fushimi castle and Yodo castle 伏見城と淀城 at Kyoto City Archaeological Museum 京都市考古資料館. Because Manpukuji 萬福寺 is located close to these two strategic towns in southern Kyoto, it is very important to understand the history of these two castles. The rise of these two castles has a lot to do with the transportation, fishing industry, and military actions during the Edo period. In front of the museum, there was a huge stele on Nishijin 西陣 textile. The building used to be a museum for Nishijin textile industry.
