    Gifu Gujo-shi Hachimancho Shimadani 737
    "A long-established store that has done traditional Japanese indigo dyeing since its founding in 1580. To this day they make noren shop curtains, wrapping cloths, pouches, carp streamers, and more using traditional all-natural indigo dyeing techniques. The 14th owner, Hishiya Yasuhei, is a Living National Treasure and his skills have been designated an Important Intangible Cultural Asset by Gifu Prefecture. Incorporating contemporary elements with traditional techniques, Gujo dyeing has become known throughout Japan and abroad. The 15th owner has inherited the store and the tradition. Their ""Japan Blue,"" which fades from dark blue as it ages, has gained fans worldwide."

    郡上八幡伝統の郡上染を見ることができます。 藍染がメインですが、朱や山吹色の鮮やかさもとても見栄えのする染め物です。 鯉のぼりの色使いが独特でとてもきれいでした。 お店というより工房に商品がある昔ながらの町やで、入口すぐに藍の入った「かめ」があり雰囲気があります。 接客をして下さったご主人の手に藍が染みついていて、現代で職人を見ました。

    A shop specializing in woodwork at Roadside Station Seiryu no Sato Shirotori. Since ancient times, Shiratori Town has been known for producing high-quality cedar and hinoki cypress. The shop is run by the Gujo Forestry Cooperative that manages the local forests with the environment in mind. Their many inviting wooden items include a table made of a single slab of 200-plus year old horse chestnut, and a round display shelf ideal for modern interiors. It's fun just looking at the items they have on display. Their laser-carved name plates are also popular.

    Gifu Gujo-shi Hachimancho Honmachi 839
    The only store dealing in Gujo pongee fabric, a luxurious handwoven silk cloth is made with plant dyes to produce a luster and simple colors. It is woven with top-grade, carefully selected domestic spring cocoons. The more you wear it, the more lustrous it gets, and it can even be worn for three generations. Munehiro Rikizo, who was born in Hachiman-cho, revived the tradition of pongee woven by Gujo farmers for personal use. He employed an innovative technique to create today's Gujo pongee. He's been nationally certified an Important Intangible Cultural Property Technology Holder, a first for an individual dealing with pongee. The store's first floor sells kimono accessories and indigo dyed merchandise, and the second floor displays works by Munehiro Rikizo.

    宗祇水の近くにあります。「観光」のカテゴリーに入れてしまいましたが、本当は「ショッピング」です(陶器作成ができる場所ではありません)。お手頃価格からちょっとお高いものまで、素敵な美濃焼が色々揃っています。お休みの日が店主さん次第?みたいなので、すぐに買わないでまた出直すのであれば、お休みの日を確認した方がいいと思います。価格を比べることのできる他の店が市内にあるわけではないので、気に入ったものがあ...

Tucked away in the very center of Japan, Gifu prefecture houses mountains, old towns, and one of Japan’s greatest hot springs, Gero Onsen. A tour of the prefecture’s traditional architecture will take you from the mountain-enveloped wooden streets of Takayama to the mountain village of Shirakawago, where visitors can explore 250-year-old thatched roofed houses known as gassho-zukuri.
