The display is hard to see because the fluorescent lights are cut off at multiple locations.

I think that it is Takahashi Takeyama memorial instead of ethnic museum. The admission fee is 100 yen for adults. Takahashi Takeyama Born in Koshibai, Nakahiranai Village, Higashitsugaru-gun, Aomori Prefecture (now Hirauchi Town). My father is Sadayoshi Takahashi, my mother is a man. My son, my second son and two daughters. Honna Seika. At the age of 2 to 3 he gets measles and blindness. I go to bullying in elementary school and quit in 3-4 days. After that, they learned Shamisen and Sakai from Toda Shigejiro who was a neighbor's bossa (blind gate performer), and from around the age of 15 he added that he was in northern Tohoku and Hokkaido. At Hakodate, I am impressed by the encounter with Toda Uzuki, the teacher of Toda. Independent with master's forgiveness at age 16 years. Walk around the area alone. While staying at the Tamagawa Ryokan located on the Sanriku coast on March 2, 1933 with a shamisen draw job, I experienced a strong earthquake after midnight. The hotel which has stayed by this earthquake called the Showa Sanriku earthquake is attacked by the tsunami and is completely destroyed. Takahashi was able to evacuate from the lodging after the earthquake was settled and to evacuate to the mountain behind the lodging just before the coming of the tsunami. In 1938, he married Nayo, who had been playing itako. It became difficult to support life in the shamisen due to the intensification of the Pacific War, and in 1944, he entered Prefectural Hachinohe School for the Deaf to acquire qualifications for acupuncturist and masseur. Detracts from the world of temporary arts, but as accompanist at Narita Untake, also known as the Tsugaru folk song deity since 1950, performs at various places. At that time, he receives the name of Takeyama from Untake. Appeared on a folk song program of Radio Aomori (now Aomori Broadcasting) with Untaker from 1954. As for Narita Untake, we asked Takahashi Takeyama not only accompaniment but also ask other Tsugaru folk songs to accompany the shamisen accompaniment, and later, many Tsugaru folk songs from the combination of Untake and Takeyama, such as "Apple Section," composed by Yunchi Excavated and produced. In 1963, he released the first ever Tsugaru shamisen solo LP record from King Records, "The World of the Takumi Takahashi Takeyama-Tsugaru Shamisen". The name of Takeyama gets fame as a Tsugaru shamisen player by this. In 1964, the combination of Untake and Takeyama was resolved by retirement and retirement of Untake. In 1971, the Aomori Broadcasting System aired a documentary called "Kanpuri" that featured Takeyama. In general, it is an opportunity to know the name. The program was selected for the Excellence Award at the Cultural Arts Festival of the same year [1]. First appeared in small theater Shibuya Jian Jian in 1973. Since then, it has been a regular feature of the live performances that attracted the hearts of many young people and became the forerunner of the Tsugaru Shamisen boom. In 1975, published the autobiographical "Tsugaru shamisen solo journey". In 1977, the film "Takeyama Hitori Tabi" was produced by Kento Shinto, director and director, and is exhibited as a representative film of Japan at the Moscow International Film Festival. Ryusan Hayashi played the role of Takeyama. In 1986, he performed in the United States, and this was the source that made the world known the name of Tsugaru Shamisen. 10 concerts in 7 cities including New York, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Honolulu. The New York Times, known for its severe commentary, gave the highest compliment, saying, "It will bring down the resonance of the audience's heart as if it were a soul detector. The In 1993, his wife Nayo died. On February 5, 1998, he died of laryngeal cancer at Hiranai Town Central Hospital. Happy New Year 87. Kaname "Fusei Shoin-cho Takeshi San". The tomb is in Tofuku-ji Temple in the town. Although he noticed that his later years had fallen, he did not retire from the active service, but gave up the second generation Takahashi Takeyama's name to Takeyoshi, who studied as a Uchi Disciple and played with him until the end. There were other disciples, but only Takeyoshi admits that he was living only in musical activities without doing any teaching activities, and he was worried about where to go.

Maybe the Takahashi Takeyama Memorial is more correct than the Historical Folk Museum. Absolutely recommended for Tsugaru Shamisen and Takeyama-sensei fans. Admission fee 100yen Dozens of Jomon pottery are on display. Takeyama fans also recommend the scallop open space for Asamushi.

Admission fee is 100 yen for adults. It's a history and folklore museum, but it might be better to call it Takahashi Chikuzan Museum. It was not until I entered this museum that I learned about Takahashi Chikuzan. Those who have spread the Tsugaru shamisen nationwide. I felt that he was a person who contributed to Hiranai Town and was loved by various people such as the Nebuta, statues, and paintings of Takahashi Chikuzan! Taking this opportunity as an opportunity, I will be interested in Takahashi Chikuzan and Tsugaru Shamisen!

The museum of Takahashi Chikuzan, the god of the Tsugaru shamisen. The admission fee is only 100 yen, and nothing else is on display. It's a short walk from the station and can be easily accessed by train. From photographs, footprints, musical instruments, etc. to those used in daily life, is the brand of tobacco impressed with the Golden Bat? I was surprised that the spider web stuck to my head, whether there were not many customers or the cleaning was not done well (laugh) Be careful only on closed days.
