    大島紬の事が良く理解出来る施設です。 大島紬は生地を染色するので無く、糸自体を染色して色々に染色された絹糸を織り込んで大島紬を作って行くとか。その工程は、最初から製織り製品になるまで41の沢山の工程をへて出来あがるとか-そりや高価なのも納得です。その工程に沿って女性の係員の方が丁寧に説明して頂けます。製織りの工程で、機織しているお婆さんと話をしたところ、40数年此の仕事をしているとか。一番の苦労は...

    Kagoshima Pref. Kagoshimashi Yoshinochou 9688-24
    This gallery and shop is located in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture and adjoins a Satsuma Kiriko cut glass factory. Satsuma Kiriko is known for the gradations of color created by making deep cuts into thick glass, and its intricate designs and gorgeous hues make this traditional art a delight to behold. Though the techniques went out of use at the beginning of the Meiji period, a movement to revive the art started in 1985, and it continues to be produced today. Visitors can purchase utensils, interior goods, souvenirs, and other items, and they can also observe the creation process. The old-fashioned building itself is a registered Tangible Cultural Property, making it a must-see.

    スタバの隣に存在するのは鹿児島へ訪れる度に分かる存在感ある建物です。 中には薩摩切子の名工から若手の新作まで、製品が並びます。 その中に薩摩ボタン作家『薩摩志史』さんの作品を発見しました。 人気ある作家さんの為、ご本人のサイトでは完売であった作品が複数ありました。 垂水市の工房まで行くことなく購入でき、大変嬉しかったです。 数年間かけて探していたので、ご縁に感謝します。

    Kagoshima Kumage-gun Minamitanecho Nakanokami 2480
    "This distillery is located in Minamitane Town, the closest town in Japan to space. Since it was first established in 1926, the distillery has continued to make shochu with deep roots on Tanegashima beloved by the island's people. Their flagship brand Nansen is a traditional shochu noted for its rich flavor and gentle taste. The shochu, which has a pronounced scent of sweet potato, instantly fills the palate with a mellow flavor. In addition to preserving shochu making traditions, the distillery also engages in numerous new initiatives. One such initiative was the creation of Uchu Kyodai, a sweet potato honkaku shochu that features characters from the manga series ""Space Brothers"" on the bottle. Another initiative was the creation of HAYABUSA2 Tanegashima kara no Tabidachi, which commemorated the launch of the Hayabusa2 asteroid explorer."

Kagoshima Areas

around-area-map

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
