Toyotomi Hideyoshi Iai, a national important cultural property that retains the characteristics of the early Noh stage

It is a rare structure with one bay, one beam, single-story gabled roof, and shingled roof, retaining the form of an early temporary Noh stage. It was said to have been a beloved piece of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and was located within Kyoto's Fushimi Castle, but was bestowed by Mizuno Katsunari, lord of Fukuyama Castle, from Tokugawa Shogun Hidetada and later donated to Numakuma Shrine. It is the only collapsible Noh stage in Japan and is a designated Important Cultural Property of Japan.
