Fushimi Castle - Tomo Noh Stage

Fushimi Castle - Nunakuma Shrine Noh Stage

沼名前神社の能舞台

This is Hideyoshi's beloved (?) Noh Stage from Fushimi Castle. The different parts of the structure have numbers and symbols so that it can be disassembled and easily reassembled. Hideyoshi supposedly had it carted around to some battlefields too. Given the circus like atmosphere around the Siege of Odawara, I wonder if it was taken to Odawara too? The Noh stage was gifted by Tokugawa Hidetada to Mizuno Katsunari. It was moved to this site in 1738 and is an Important Cultural Property.
