Yoji Uchiyama, a stained glass artist, completed the sculpture titled "Stained Glass Japanese Armor Toyotomi Hideyoshi." This artwork took him two and a half years of trial and error to create. Since then, he has exhibited this sculpture in various locations. The verification of the sculpture took place at the Toyokuni Shrine in Nakamura, Nagoya, which is the birthplace of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

The sculpture weighs approximately 80 kg and is made up of over 20,000 pieces of stained glass.
