Morioka Jajamen Chitan

Makibori Shrine

It is said to have been founded in the 3rd year of the Choroku era (1459). The object of worship is Kanase Daimyojin, which is about 60cm tall and has been worshiped since ancient times as the god of matchmaking, child-bearing, and safe childbirth. Kinsei-sama is enshrined everywhere within the shrine grounds.

Himegami ware Toshian

Approximately 2,000 pieces of ceramics, ranging from household items to works of art, are on display in the exhibition room in his home. His works are characterized by openwork carvings of wild grapes and wisteria, which he made from his experience in metal casting and plaster carving. I am moved by his delicate techniques, including his attempt to explore unexplored fields using curved lines like candlesticks.

Morioka Machiya Story Museum

Morioka Machiya Monogatari Museum opened in July 2014 with the concept of ``encountering nostalgic bustle.'' As a lively and nostalgic place for relaxation that is easy for everyone to use, it also serves as a local information center and a place to disseminate information on local culture. As a new regional core facility, we are working together with the citizens to operate it. In addition, we will take advantage of the five functions of this facility: ``interact,'' ``see,'' ``experience,'' ``eat,'' and ``buy.'' We aim to preserve and disseminate not only the charm of our facilities, but also the many fascinating lifestyle cultures of the Katayacho area as resources.
