The Siege of Osaka! The decisive battle!
The Siege of Osaka was the war between Hideyoshi’s heir Toyotomi Hideyori and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Through videos and miniature models, it introduces the world depicted in the masterpiece "Screen of the Summer Siege of Osaka" (Important Cultural Property).

On the 7th floor, as you tour around, many small observation windows contain short holographic 3D videos of figures. Watching them in order by number gives a good understanding of Hideyoshi’s life and the secret of unifying the country. This setup is quite good and effectively separates the flow of visitors.
