Kanazawa Castle is a castle where the Maeda family lived for 1467 generations from the end of the Sengoku period (1590-1603) to the Edo period (1868-14). Originally built in 1546 as a temple “Kanazawa Mido (Oyama Gobo)” as the base of the Kaga Ikko-ikki (a country-wide governing community centered on the monks of the Ichikoku sect), but when Maeda Toshiie, a vassal of Oda Nobunaga, entered the castle in 1583, full-scale castle construction began as Kanazawa Castle under the guidance of Takayama Uchika, known as the Christian daimyō. After repeated fires, such as the castle tower being destroyed by lightning in 1602, the headquarters of the army was located after the Meiji Restoration, and after the war, it was used as a campus of Kanazawa University. Kanazawa Castle, which has changed over time as a place of religion, politics, military, and academia, transforms into an art space where the present and the past intersect, people living in the present participate, and people change depending on their presence.
