The culture of Owari has been passed down from the samurai era to the present day.
Since Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu built Nagoya Castle in this area,
The culture of this city and Nagoya Castle have developed together.
The skills of the craftsmen who built the castle and shaped the castle town still thrive in this land today.
The armor and weapons of the Owari Tokugawa family continued to represent the status of a samurai family even after the era of warfare.
This town, once known as a "place of arts," is perfectly suited to the vibrant beauty of traditional Japanese clothing.
