At the Uemizu Community Center, everyday items from long ago are stored, maintained, and displayed for the general public. This collection was started in order to share the variety of tools that supported people's manual labour and daily life in the past with future generations. Items were gathered for the collection starting in 1973. After 10 years, hundreds of items had been donated to the collection. The construction of the storage room, aided by the help of the city, was completed in October 1988. The stored items are invaluable cultural artifacts that allow people to connect with the hands and hearts of their ancestors. In particular, the collection includes all types of tools that were used and improved over time for use in rice cultivation since the Edo period. The collection also includes valuable items such as tools used in weaving workshops, which were a major industry in the Uemizu area during the Meiji period, silkworm-raising equipment, a 6.4-meter-long emergency boat used during floods, a waterwheel that drew water into the rice fields, and a large handcart once used to transport rice to nearby markets. On the second floor, everyday household items are displayed, including kitchen utensils, chests of drawers, lacquer bowls, and school textbooks from the Meiji period. |
