Hagi City Susa Museum of History and Folklore: Mikotokan

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

This museum collects and preserves materials related to the cultural heritage, history, and folklore of Susa. In the Edo period, the Masuda family served as important officials (eidai-garo) in the Mori domain, and this museum displays important items connected to them, as well as to Susa-Karatsu pottery and the Susa geopark. The name Mikoto Kan comes from the legend of the god Susanoo-no-Mikoto, whence Susa gets its name. The hall was closed for a time after the terrible floods that hit the Hagi City's eastern area in 2013, but the main hall and annex were reopened in 2015. The hall not only offers a place to learn of the charms of the Susa region, but also displays seiji celadon porcelain, what is considered the oldest celadon porcelain in Japan.
