| Let's Make Nagoya's Dream of Honmaru Palace a Reality!
What is "Honmaru Palace" ?
Nagoya Castle Honmaru Palace was built about 300 years ago as a house for
a feudal lord of the Owari clan, and at that time it was full of valuable
artwork.The building was exquisite as like the Nijyo-jyo Palace in Kyoto
( which is now a designated as Japanese national treasure).
The original Honmaru Palace was burnt down by air attacks during World
War Ⅱ. But a lot of art products inside of Honmaru Palace like fusumas ( framed and papered sliding door), and Tenjo-Itaes ( paitings on the plates of ceiling), were evacuated from the Palace
in advance. So even now, we can see these and they have been designated
as Important Cultural Property.
Now a Honmaru Palace restoring project is taking place. .
About "Honmaru Palace Restoration Project"
 Currently the Nagoya local government is working on the "Honmaru Palace
Restoration Project". The government aims to build new, proud palace
for the people of Nagoya and pass on this area's traditional craftsmen's
skills to next generation.
