  • Nawate Street & Nakamachi Street

    2017/09/19

    Nawate Street

    A shopping avenue a short three-minute walk from Matsumoto Castle.

    Named from the rope (‘Mizu Nawate’) strung around the outer edge of the castle moat at the time of its construction. It was originally a bank facing the castle but in the 20th year of the Meji era, shops popped up along the bank and in the 12th year of Hesei it became the site of the kajika frog festival celebrating the frogs that were said to be plentiful along the Metoba river in Matsumoto. Because traffic on the road is limited to pedestrians, it is very crowded with tourists on the weekends.

     

    Nakamachi Street

    Nakamachi street runs west to east along the Zenkoji road and flourished as wholesale sake brewing and clothing shops gathered on the street. However, in the late Edo period and Meiji era the southern Fukashi area suffered fires that destroyed many homes and shops. In order to provide protection from repeated fires, the craftsmen of the area used ‘Namako’ tile and plaster walls and the classic and characteristic black and white concrete-like designed ‘Namako’ walls can still today be seen in this middle town area of Matsumoto.

  • The National Treasure, Matsumoto Castle

    2017/09/01

     

    The castle was built as a strategic fortress for defending the territory against attacks that occurred during the tumultuous Sengoku Period. Matsumoto Castle’s ‘Tenshu’ (the highest tower in the castle), the ‘Watariyagura’ (passageway tower), and Inui Tower were all built toward the end of the period to monitor Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Kanto region.

     

    Accordingly, in preparation for battles, these three towers were constructed with 115 small windows through which arrows and guns could be fired. Additionally, a section of the wall on the 1st floor was replaced with 11 windows through which guns could be fired.

     

    The ‘Tatsumitsukeyagura’ and ‘Tsukimiyagura’ towers were built approximately 40 years later, during the early Edo Period, when a more peaceful era resulted in a diminished need to construct for battle preparation. The combination of the old and new towers is the Matsumoto Castle of today. Matsumoto Castle is the only castle in Japan in which towers from two different periods have been unified into one and it thus serves as one important feature of Matsumoto’s history.

The museum displays not only numerous Matsumoto Mingei folk art furniture works, but also various other types of craft items. Regardless of region, or even country, if they are folk craft goods, items have been gathered from far and wide and are on display for the enjoyment of visitors.
