    "This is the only workshop in Japan that still presents magatama beads to the Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine, and it was founded in an area known for bead-making that became the set for myths. The workshop continues to make ""Izumo magatama"" used when the ""Izumo Kokuzo"" of the Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine would conduct rituals at the imperial palace for new emperors. It is in the country's leading production area for beads that has produced large quantities of magatama and beads since ancient times. The mysterious shape and deep, beautiful color still fascinate people, and make them feel like they have a mysterious spiritual power. ""Yasakani no Magatama"" is one of the three types of sacred treasures that mark the succession of the throne, along with the ""Yata no Kagami"" mirror and ""Kusanagi"" sword."

    Shimane Matsue-shi Tamayucho Fujina 428-8
    "This pottery kiln with a history of nearly 250 years began as an old kiln for the Matsue clan in the Edo period (1603-1868). It is located about a four-minute drive from JR Nogi Station, and continues to produce traditional Fujina ware and pottery with modern designs that blend in with modern life. It once worked on tea utensils favored by Fumai-ko, the clan leader who was a master of the tea ceremony. Because he liked replicas of masterpieces of the time, they are characterized by having a delicate and elegant appearance reminiscent of Kyoto. In recent years, the kiln has been working on things such as warm and gentle blue containers using Izumo celadon and ""namakoyu"" glazing, as well as containers with exotic patterns."

    Shimane Matsue-shi Tonomachi 193
    This shop just in front of Matsue castle specializes in agate crafts. Founded in 1877, they specialize in creating Magatama stones, small comma-shaped traditional charms, made from the increasingly rare Izumo-mined blue agate (also jasper or Izumo stone). Their original magatama designs are based on ancient patterns and created with long, painstaking care. The thickness, curve, and polished texture are all obsessively worked to create a unique finished form. Their deeply blue stones are made with all the pride of the Sanin region's oldest stone shop.

    店構えがいかにも高級な感じがする勾玉やメノウを扱っているお店です。でも入ってみると、ストラップなど若者向けの製品もあったりして、カジュアルと高級品の両方ありますので、結構楽しめます。

    Shimane Matsue-shi Tonomachi 407
    This agate craft and natural mineral shop was founded in 1921. This region is filled with the atmosphere of Izumo myths, and has carried on the tradition of making sacred magatama stones since ages past. Magatama stones are mysterious objects of worship, dating back to the distant past and said to resemble both a sprouting seed, and a human fetus. Today, they are often worn in a prayer for health, emotional stability, and recovery from illness. The attached workshop offers classes on making your own original bracelet or phone strap (reservations required). You can also reserve a tour to observe their own workshop where they use traditional skills to make these mystical stones.

    めのうが主体であるものの、それ以外の石も扱っています。ブレスレットなどはその場で石を選んで作ることもできます。店員さんの優しいアドバイスもあり、自分の気に入った一品を見つけることができると思います。松江で石を探すならここが一番だと思います。

  • Hirose-gasuri Indigo Dye Workshop
    Travel / Tourism
    Shimane Matsue-shi Kitahoricho 322
    This indigo dyeing workshop carries on the tradition of Hirose Gasuri, a prefectural Intangible Cultural Property. This facility is near the Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum, and sells indigo dyed goods as well as offering activities allowing you to make your own. The traditional craft of Hirose Gasuri uses a wide variety of medium sized geometric patterns as well as picturesque patterns, and is said to have found its beginning in a dyeing style taught in nearby Yonago in 1824, in the Hoki Province that is today the western part of Tottori Prefecture. The style is characterized by precise geometric patterns marked by stark contrast in the blue dyeing (using naturally fermented indigo liquid), with the threads woven to bring out the patterns with exactness. At this workshop, you can use rubber bands to create your own design in their Dyeing Activity, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece for the cost of a single coin!

  • Yakumonuri Yamamoto lacquerware
    Travel / Tourism
    Shimane Matsue-shi Suetsuguhonmachi 45
    This lacquerware shop is on Matsue Ohashi-dori avenue, extending from the north end of the Matsue Ohashi bridge across Lake Shinji. Founded in 1890, it has helped to carry on the traditional craft of Yakumo-nuri lacquer, which developed as part of traditional tea ceremony culture. Yakumonuri layers transparent lacquer over patterns and pictures drawn with colored lacquer, and is marked by how age and use actually improves the translucency of the lacquer. It has gentle, almost damp-feeling texture, and it only grows more lustrous and attractive with age. This shop has used traditional skills to create a modern style, as well, creating amber lacquer cups without any base pattern. Variations in light can cause the color to range from amber to red, or even purple, for a singular item of outstanding elegance.

    旅の土産は地酒と和菓子と決まっているので、シャミネを一回りし、彩雲堂で日持ちの良い羊羹などを選び、向かい側の鷦鷯屋の棚にズラッと並んでいる日本酒の前で迷っていると、店員さんが丁寧に相談にのってくれて。 生憎、好みの辛口がなかったのですが、最も辛口に近い中辛の「李白」はどうですかと言われ、名前も気に入ったし、店員さんがマイ定番の「国稀鬼ころし」を知っていてくれたことも嬉しくて購入し、早速お菓子と一緒...

    GWで、混んでいました。結構なお客さんの数で行列が出来ていた。 暫く待つと、行列の最前列に順番待ちの名前を書く紙を発見。何組か並ばずに自分たちのあとに来た人が名前を書き順番が後ろになる。 それでも、美味しいのだろうと順番待ちを続ける。席に着くまで1時間、お待ち下さいとの事だったので、席でまつがその後一切注文を取りに来ない上に、後から来た客の注文を取る。 最低の店です。

    山陰道は無料区間が長いので数少ないサービスエリアかと思います。小さいながらも土産物の販売と食事処がありました。もう少し早めに到着できていればここで昼食もあったかもと思い残念でした。天気が良かったので遠目ですが、宍道湖も見えました。

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
