Gosannen Kassen Kanezawa Archive Museum

The Gosannen Kassen Kanezawa Archive Museum contains exhibits about medieval Japanese warfare, including weapons, documents, and military artifacts from the 1080s.

The museum focuses on the Gosannen War of 1083-1085, when the Kiyohara clan faced conflicts with Minamoto forces in the Mutsu Province.

Handscrolls and artistic representations displayed in the museum depict battle scenes and daily life during the late Heian period in northern Japan.

The museum maintains a collection of educational materials in multiple languages and provides guided tours through its specialized exhibits about feudal warfare.

Descendants of warriors who participated in the Gosannen War have contributed personal accounts and family artifacts to the museum collection.
