Statue of Yoshimune Tokugawa

it looks like a creative image.

Original Text

I don't know how much I could see the actual general on horseback, so I think it's a creative image influenced by the TV series. It stands on the sidewalk at the corner of the intersection where the Prefectural Museum and Museum of Art are located. There is also a chronological plate of Yoshimune, but the statue may be far from the true story.

Images different from the generals

Original Text

The image of Ken Matsudaira's violent general was strong, and there was a feeling of discomfort. It looks like a small uncle straddling thoroughbred. Yoshimune was also a general who called the statue to Japan, and I thought it would be better to have an elephant statue.

i think about making it.

A brand name board that describes the thoughts of making a bronze statue and the gift of Wakayama Fushitora Lions Club is attached to the pedestal.

It's really cool.

Original Text

It was a very cool statue. Riding a horse is very cool, but I wondered if the actual person was so cool.
