In 1979 the Koi Yama chōnai commissioned European research on its tapestry (see Niwatori Boko for more on these tapestries). The Gion Festival boasts three tapestries from a set. Research revealed these are the only known examples worldwide depicting scenes from Homer’s The Iliad and the Trojan War. Koi Yama’s shows King Priam and Queen Hecuba.
