Inami Wood Carving Composite Hall

4.5

This art museum exhibits works of Inami woodcarving, the traditional handicraft of Inami. Modeled after the layout of Zuisenji Temple, the museum building completely surrounds a central courtyard. Inside the museum, which was designed to capitalize on natural light, more than two hundred works of traditional handicraft and Inami woodcarving are on display and available for sale. In some cases, you can even see the craftsperson actually carving the pieces. Among the many abstract works of art on display, including partitioning screens?, lion masks, and carvings of Tenjin, the most stunning works are the transoms featuring kasanebori carvings, which are layered to create a three-dimensional effect. In all, the museum is a great place to enjoy the history and beauty of Inami woodcarving. The capsule vending machine offering lion-dog wood carvings is popular with people of all ages.
