Ise Netsuke Chokokukan

Art Museum
"This establishment is one of the ""Ise Street Corner Museums"" - small facilities which introduce the handicrafts and history of Ise. A studio which makes Ise netsuke sash toggles using Japanese box tree wood from Mt. Asama, known as the ""jewel of woods,"" it displays its pieces for the general public to view. Ise netsuke, patterned after traditional Japanese themes of natural beauty, became an essential part of the everyday lives of commoners with the growth of kimono culture. The tiny carvings, just three or four centimeters tall, are imbued with a variety of designs exuding characteristics such as warmth, cuteness, and stylishness. Growing ever more delicate, they eventually developed to the point where they were veritable works of art, and there are many netsuke collectors not only across Japan but around the world."

    江戸時代から続く伝統工芸品、根付を制作している職人さん、中川忠峰さんの工房です。根付をガラスケースから出し、手にとって見せてくれます。中川忠峰さんは、元国際根付彫刻会会長。その作品の巧妙さに驚かされます。作品を見ることはもちろん、制作の体験も有料ですができます(1000円〜)個人宅のため、見学、制作体験含め、事前に予約をして行かないと、しまっていることがあります。
