During the Warring States period, samurai warlords used distinctive signatures called 'kao' on their letters. These stylized signatures varied widely among individuals and eras. This renewed mini exhibition, following its 2024 edition, showcases historical documents featuring unique and intriguing kao from various samurai. The display is held in part of the third-floor permanent exhibition area.
