On view at Museum Bronbeek from Friday, 17 April 2026: the temporary exhibition on the shin-guntō.
The Japanese officer’s sword of the Second World War was both a symbol of centuries-old samurai honor and an instrument of military authority. The exhibition Shin-guntō: Tussen Eer en Terreur (Between Honor and Violence) shows how tradition, ideology, and warfare converged in a single weapon.
More than 25 swords are on display, including 10 Yasukuni-tō.
