Sponsoring of the Special Exhibition "Taira no Kiyomori"
January 18, 2012
Nissha Printing Co.,Ltd.
We are an official corporate sponsor of the special exhibition "Taira no Kiyomori".
To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the NHK Taiga Drama series, this exhibition will present the story of the life of TAIRA-no-Kiyomori, the first samurai to grasp political power and a man "who challenged his times". It will attempt to create a better understanding of the actual man, TAIRA-no-Kiyomori, through numerous exhibits relating to him and the Heike clan of which he was the leader. Starting with rich treasures that have been handed down through the Itsukushima Shrine, itself a World Heritage Site, it will also include portraits and handwritings by the people who lived at that time, pictures of the major battles that took place between Heike and their rivals, the Genji, and a variety of works of art and craft featuring the culture of the late Heian Period.
