    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Nagamachi 2-2-45
    A museum located in Naga-machi, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture housed inside a relocated building which once belonged to Nakaya Yakuho, a long-standing medicine company which was established in 1579. The building, an extremely valuable cultural property, was originally built in 1878 on the occasion of a visit by Emperor Meiji and the exterior remains unchanged from that time. Inside, visitors will find a recreation of the “mise no ma” parlor used by Nakaya Yakuho to serve customers during Japan’s feudal domain era. The second floor serves as an exhibition space displaying materials related to the culture of the merchants who once lived in Kanazawa, traditional wedding implements, and everyday tools once used by shops of old in the area.

    On our tour of the Naga-machi district area we were invited into this museum by a lovely man. The museum only costs 100yen which is way too little for all the things that shows:a perfect...

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Onomachi 4 Part 2 - 29
    "A museum located on the tip of Kanazawa Port which presents the achievements of mechanical doll maker Ono Benkichi, displays Japanese karakuri mechanical dolls, and contains interactive exhibits on karakuri. Ono was an inventor who lived in Ono Village (now Ono Town) in Ishikawa District at the end of the Edo period. Using what was then cutting edge technology, Ono created a variety of inventions, and the karakuri dolls he crafted during his lifetime are a testament to his mechanical skills. The museum presents the world of Japanese karakuri dolls with a focus on Ono. The museum's exhibits include well-known karakuri dolls such as a tea carrying doll, and also occasionally holds demonstrations which enable visitors to view the dolls in action up close. Visitors can also see a ""nozoki karakuri,"" a mechanical stage show consisting of a series of pictures viewed through a peephole which was popular with children in the Edo period. Twice a month, the museum holds interactive workshops for elementary school aged children."

    This is not just a museum but hands on type very interesting and stimulating place both for kids and parents. You can learn about the history of Karakuri, an old robot type wooden machine made moving...

    室生犀星は特に文学的には興味があるわけではありませんが、「ふるさとは遠きにありて思ふもの、、、」のしで有名な金沢を代表する文豪の一人です。 その生家に立てられたきれいなビルが記念館ですが、本人は幼少期の頃にそばの雨宝院に養子に出されたそうです。

    久保市乙剣宮のすぐ近くにある金沢を代表する作家のひとりである氏の展示館で、生家があった場所に建っています。この手の場所はある程度の知識があるファンを想定したような展示もありますが、こちらはかなり初心者でもわかりやすい展示でした。

    日本の近代文学を代表する作家の一人で、こちらの記念館の近くが生誕地だそうです。梅ノ橋を南側から渡るとすぐのところにありました。書斎の再現や遺品の展示など、よくあるタイプの展示館ですが、和紙の人形で登場人物か紹介されているのはなかなか珍しい感じでした。

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Kanaiwahonmachi Ro 55
    This museum memorializes Zeniya Gohei, a maritime merchant who lived at the end of the Edo period, engaged in trade across Japan and with other nations during a time of national isolation using kitamaebune cargo ships, and supported the one million “koku” economy of Kaga. The museum was built in 1997 to honor the man’s foresight and achievements, collect and conserve items connected to the merchant, and provide information on him. An animated video shown in the museum presents a good portion of Gohei’s life. Visitors can also get a sense of what shipping was like at the time via a 1/4th scale kitamaebune cargo ship. The adjoining Zenigo no Yakata was once the merchant’s home and three-story kura warehouse, moved to this site and restored to its full glory. Visitors can view articles which belonged to the man and his family and imagine what life was like then.

    The executive director personally showed us around and explained the detailed story of this tragic family. If you are familiar with Japanese history, especially Edo era, it will be a very interesting...
