In September 1626 (Kan’ei 3), eleven years after the Osaka Campaigns brought an end to an age of war, Tokugawa Hidetada—the retired second shogun—and Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun, welcomed Emperor Go-Mizunoo to Nijo Castle. For an emperor to leave the Kyoto Imperial Palace and pay an official visit to the castle of the warrior government was, at the time, without precedent. This moment marked a turning point in history, symbolizing the peace of the Edo period that would endure for more than two centuries.
In 2026, marking the 400th anniversary of the Kan’ei Gyoko, Kyoto will host the Kan’ei Gyoko 400th Anniversary Festival as a project of the Agency for Cultural Affairs Collaboration Platform—an all-Kyoto initiative that brings together government, the business community, and cultural and arts organizations. The festival will feature a grand reenactment of Emperor Go-Mizunoo’s Kan’ei Gyoko procession, alongside a range of programs that look back on the “Kan’ei culture” that flourished in Kyoto during the era.
