上杉神社稽照殿

Located on the grounds of Uesugi Shrine, Keishōden has over 300 items on display ranging from swords and armor to paintings. The armor set said to be worn by Naoe Kanetsugu, including his helmet with its famous decorative element (the character for “love” 愛), is a must-see. Many other cultural assets related to the Uesugi clan, such as Uesugi Kenshin’s armor and the decorative element used on the helmet of Uesugi Kagekatsu, can be seen.

The building itself was designed by the reputed architect Itō Chūta and is designated as a nationally-registered tangible cultural property.
