Shimamoto town is located in the north-eastern part of Osaka prefecture. This museum is next to the historic spot which is known by almost all Japanese. Masashige Kusunoki, who was the boss of local samurais in the early 14th century, said good-by to his small son here. He was a gifted military man and supported the Emperor, but died in the unwillingly battle after parting from his son here.
He is popular among Japanese, so I would like to introduce the spot at first.

日本人なら誰でも耳にしたことがある桜井の駅の史跡の横に資料館がある。島本町は大阪府だが、京都府と接している。まずは史跡のご紹介から。
Historic spot "Sakurai-no-eki"、 桜井の駅跡
The statue of Kusunoki and his son; it is
written “sacrifice oneself for the nation” on the base. Talking about
education, it is controversial now.
楠親子の別れの像。子は少年だ。そして、台座にある滅私奉公の文字。日本の教育の微妙なところだ。

The monument of the Meiji emperor’s short
poem. He felt compassion with Kusunoki.
明治天皇が訪れた時の御製の碑。「子わかれの 松のしつくに 袖ぬれて 昔をしのふ さくらゐのさと」

Kusunoki and his son hitched their horses
to this pine tree. It died, but has been conserved in a shed since 1897.
楠父子が駒を止めたという旗立松(はたたてまつ)。残念ながら枯死し、1897年に小屋に保存されている。

This bomb was shot in the internal war
(Boshin war) in 1868. It hit the pillar of a town house, but it was not
exploded. Too real.
1868年、戊辰戦争の開戦で薩摩軍が放った砲弾。民家の柱にへこみができている。爆発しなかった。生々しい。

Old utensils are exhibited here. Pieces of
Shougi table game, which are made in this area (Minase) are famous. 民具のコーナーも。水無瀬の将棋駒は有名だそうだ。
