Hidehira lacquer

The fixtures used at Chuson-ji Temple and Motsu-ji Temple in Hiraizumi were handed down to the folk, and they are also made in Hanamaki. The lacquer from the southern region is of the highest quality in the world and is used in high-quality lacquerware.

Tannaiyama Shrine

This is a shrine where Fujiwara Kiyohira is said to have donated Buddhist statues and sacred treasures, and to which he believed deeply. It became the general guardian of the southern territory, and the current shrine building was rebuilt in 1810. The transoms on both sides of the shrine hall, the side shoji screens, and the front lattice doors are decorated with beautiful carvings. It is said that if you can pass through the large stone at the back of the main shrine without hitting the wall, you will receive blessings. This is a mysterious shrine with the ``Seven Wonders.''
