Sake Folk Culture Museum

Seki no Ichi Sake Brewery was named by Emperor Meiji's younger brother, Prince Kanin, who said, ``Make good sake that will please the people of the world.'' The ``Sake Folk Culture Museum'' inside is made up of valuable earthen storehouses that still retain traces of the time of its founding. The two-story wooden storehouse is the largest in Tohoku. Inside, some of the over 1,600 sake-making tools are on display. You can also see the brewer's room, which enshrines Matsuo Daimyojin, the god of sake, and materials related to the production of rice, which is essential for sake. In 2006, the ``Ichinoseki Literature Storehouse'' was opened to honor 12 writers associated with Ichinoseki.

Wooden Kannon Bodhisattva Seated Statue

The statue, which is 114.3 centimeters tall and is enshrined at Higashisen-in in Ichinoseki City, is made of coniferous wood and finished with lacquered wood. It shows the sculptural style of the late Heian period, and is thought to have been created by a Buddhist sculptor who was involved in the construction of a temple in Hiraizumi during the third Fujiwara era in Oshu. The carvings are excellent, and the statue is in good condition as an inscribed statue, and it is one of the few in the prefecture that has all three parts: halo, pedestal, and Dharmakaya. In 2018, it was designated as a national important cultural property.
