Research Abstract
The garments and crowns (owned by Uesugi Shrine), which was given to Uesugi Kagekatsu from the Ming Dynasty during the Imjin War, was designated as a national important cultural property in 2018.Principal investigator Manabu ARAMIYA clarified that this Kagekatsu's garments and crown and Hideyoshi's , which is owned by Kyoto Myohoin, complement each other, although there are differences between the vassal and the king. In this designation, the mandarin square pattern(Buzi) sewn on the chest and the back of the garment is the big Dipper and Altair (Douniu)pattern. On the other hand, Koto SATO, a researcher in charge, analyzed from the viewpoint of iconographic research, and a pair of wings was drawn by the color scheme called "Kontan Ryokushi" that appeared in China in the 8th century. She concluded that it was a flying fish(Feiyu) pattern and pointed out that there was room for reconsideration.
