Historical Museum of Iron

4.0

"A museum where you can learn about Japan's unique tatara iron making tradition and its techniques. It's roughly divided into two parts, ""Tatara Iron and its Techniques"" and ""Iron Mining and Blacksmiths."" It showcases the tradition in an accessible way with numerous exhibits. The influence of the acquisition of iron making technologies on the communities that had until then relied on tools made of stone and wood was enormous. You'll learn how it gradually became an indispensable part of their lives."

本物の「高殿」を見学し、よく理解した後、工程のビデオを見れた。順番は、逆でもよいが、必ずセットで見学すべき。日本刀の基である鋼の原点をみれる。
