In March 1872 (Meiji 5), the male "shachi" was exhibited at the Yushima Seido Exhibition in Tokyo, considered the founding event of the Tokyo National Museum. It was later displayed at regional expositions held in Ishikawa, Oita, Ehime, and Nagoya. The female "shachi" was exhibited at the World Exposition in Vienna in 1873. Later, when it was decided to preserve the keep, a movement to return the "shachi" was initiated. In Meiji 11 (1878), the golden "shachi" were returned to Nagoya and restored to their original position in February of the following year.
