Check in at Tokyo Imperial Palace - Kusunoki Masashi

#Tokyo Attractions Kusunoki Masashige, whose childhood name was Tamonmaru, was respectfully called Lord Kusunoki from the Meiji era. He was a famous military commander from the late Kamakura shogunate to the Nanboku-cho period. Because of his military prowess, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, he has become a symbol of Japanese patriotism. The Japanese saying "seven lives to serve the country" (similar to our saying "serve the country with loyalty") comes from his story. The Japanese emperor also had to learn to sing songs praising nanmu when he received early childhood education. The statue of Kusunoki Masashige is the most representative sculpture at the entrance of the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda area. It is a tall bronze statue of a samurai general. The samurai general is heroic, holding a sword and riding a galloping horse. He is General Kusunoki Masashige, a loyal general who supports the emperor. He is equivalent to the door god of the Imperial Palace, always guarding the emperor's house. In Japan, the evaluation of Kusunoki Masashige has always been positive. He is not only a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but also a symbol of the god of war. If you come to Japan for a trip, you might as well go to these places to feel the historical traces left by Kusunoki Masashige and experience the legendary story of this "Japanese Guan Yu".
