    酒呑童子つながりで日本と世界の鬼に関する伝承などを集めた博物館。秋田の男鹿にあるなまはげの民族間と同じ系統の展示で、世界の鬼の系譜やかぶりものなどが展示されている。そうした鬼の民族史や博物を見られるのも楽しいが、ウルトラ怪獣の生みの親、成田亨氏の鬼の絵も見られるのが嬉しい。もう少し山を上ったところには成田亨氏デザインの鬼のモニュメントがあり、こちらも見ておくべきだろう。

    JR福知山駅から徒歩10〜15分くらいの福知山城へ向かう途中にある。地味な外観のこぢんまりした資料館だが、内容は良い。 中でも、織り機で裂き織りの体験が出来る所がとても気に入った。10㌢四方のコースターなら20分程で仕上がる。織りは全く初めてだったが、スタッフの方がとても親切に教えてくださった。これで1枚100円なんて、申し訳ないくらい面白かった❣️ 再訪したいと思った。

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
