Sayamaike is the oldest irrigation pond built with a dam during the early 7th century A.D. The history of the pond about for 1,400 years includes many renovations for activity of irrigation. Katagiri Katsumoto who was a retainer of the Toyotomi Family, reliable governor of Settsu, Kawachi, Izumi, for Tokugawa Ieyasu made a great restoration called ‘Keicho Restoration’. Sayamaike seriously damaged by the big earthquake was revived by the restoration. Owing to the Keicho Restoration, we can use water, see the great landscape and take a rest by the shore of the pond now. In June 2009, Osaka Prefecture and Osakasayama city tstarted to cooperate Osaka prefectual Sayakaike Museum which has a theme on the history of land development and its technology and Osakasayama City Museum which has a theme on the history of the region and its culture. On the beginning of the new management we will introduce Keicho Restoration, the greatest epoch and the foundation of Sayamaike now. |

From the start of rice cultivation in the paddies, people had defied and worshipped gods to secure water resources. The role to lead such rituals was gradually taken by the chiefs. Rituals celebrating pure water were undertaken at wells. Some rituals expected power of water flow to wash away and purify the contamination. This special exhibition will show you the artifacts used in such water related rituals from Yayoi Period to Nara and Heian Period. We also show you the old documents related to these rituals. Hope you will see the wishes of ancient people reflected on the water and the transition of the water related rituals reflecting political ambition. |

Special Exhibition; Water Control and Management of Sayamaike in the Edo Period
-With the Opening of the Tanaka the Pond Keeper Documents-
|
Term; March 11, 2003 (Tue.) - May 11, 2003 (Sun.) Place; Special Exhibition Room on the Ground Floor Admission; Free Contents; Documents and illustrations concerning the management of Sayamaike Pond in the Edo Period. Introduction;
In 1608, Katsumoto Katagiri, the retainer of late ruler Hideyoshi Toyotomi, restored Sayamaike Pond. Since then, 79 villages located near the lower reaches of Nishiyoke River streaming from the pond made use of the water from it. At that time, more and more wild lands were developed as the paddy fields for rice-production near around. As it rained quite a few in this region, the water from the pond was literally 'the water of life' for the farmers in these villages. So it was a very important matter how they divided the water. To provide the water fairly and avoid the conflicts, they established many strict rules for the management of the pond among these villages. The successive master of the Tanakas owed the responsibility for the management of the pond, so he was called 'Ikemori, the Pond Keeper'. Here we show you the old documents and illustrations left in the Tanaka the Pond Keeper Documents concerning the water management. We hope you will understand the intimate relationship between the locals and Sayamaike Pond through our exhibition.

Special Exhibition for Commemorating the 800th Year from the Restoration of Sayamaike by Chogen, the monk of Japanese Middle Age;
Civil Engineering Works led by Chogen and his Contemporaries
October 1, 2002 - December 1, 2002 Presented by Osaka Prefecture, Osakasayama City Government and Board of Education of Osakasayama City Place; Special Exhibition Room on the Ground Floor Admission; Free Introduction;
Chogen is the monk of Japanese Middle Age who restored Todaiji Temple, now registered as World Heritage, which had been ruined by the civil war of that time. This is the 800th year from the restoration of Sayamaike carried by this monk. So we will present special exhibition commemorating his great deed. In this exhibition, you can see the civil engineering works led by Chogen through the old paintings and documents, unearthed remains and so on. Not Chogen alone, we also introduce you his contemporary monks named Vamna and Mongaku who led other land-developing works. Early Japanese Middle Age is said to be the age of engineering works. We hope you will feel the energy of that time. |

Opening Special Exhibition;
Civil Engineering Skills in Ancient Japan
October 2, 2001 - December 2, 2001 Presented by Osaka Prefectural Sayamaike Museum, Osakasayama City Government and Board of Education of Osakasayama City Place; Special Exhibition Room on the ground floor Admission; Free Introduction;
We are apt to regard civil engineering as a hard-to-understand study filled with difficult equations and graphics. But in fact, it's a study of human experiences. We mankind have developed the civil engineering skills by learning from the various experiences of our past. In our country, we still can see Kofun Tumuli or the banks built more than 1,300 years ago. The archaeological surveys told us that our ancestors took advantage of soil, stones and woods for building them. Our museum is to research the history of civil engineering. So we will release our first special exhibition about Japanese ancient engineering skills mainly in Yayoi Period (the 3rd B.C. - 3rd A.D.) to Nara Era (the 8th A.D.), introducing the data given from the archaeological surveys. |  |
Concept of Exhibition;
Part I. Planning of Ancient Engineering Works- Units of Length
There are some ancient rules indicating the existence of the standards. - Designs
A copper plate from Andonyama Kofun Tumulus suggests us that there might have been a calculated design. - Measuring
How did they measure the length and the height? - Engineers
From where did they learn the skill
Part II. Archaeological Evidences Shown in Ancient Engineering Works- A Port in Yayoi Period
- Mound of Kofun Tumulus and Iron Spades
They used wooden tools with an iron spade for digging the earth. - Use of Sandbags
You can see the real sandbags made in Kofun Period. - Engineers from Abroad and the Structures for River Control
Much of the engineering skills might have come from the continent. - Engineering Works led by Ancient Korean Officers
- Construction of the Capital
- Arrangements of Main Road and Bridges by the Ancient Government
