Kawaguchi Cultural Property Center - Kawaguchi

A facility that summarizes the history of Kawaguchi. If you like Kawaguchi City, you should definitely visit it. There is also a stamp. However, why is photography prohibited inside the building? I can't find any exhibition materials that would be a problem to be photographed ... For example, is there something wrong with being photographed, such as Beigoma or Potbelly stove in the second exhibition room? I do not understand.

A facility that uses the 1st to 3rd floors of a UR house. Generally, you can get it for 100 yen. There are many exhibits centered on earthenware in the hall, and there is also an experience corner. However, shooting inside the building is prohibited.

I had the opportunity to look inside. I think I enjoyed seeing something different from what I expected in Kawaguchi City. However, due to the construction of the building, there are things that go out and suffer from many of the same things.

It was a good facility to kill a little time. Sometimes it's an ant.

While walking around the old post town in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, I saw the sign of "Kawaguchi City Cultural Property Center" so I visited it. (Photo) The contents of the exhibition consisted mainly of artifacts from ancient dwellings and a corner of the modern foundry industry. I found a nostalgic thing in it, and it is a daruma stove (picture). Dharma stove was a classroom heater in elementary and junior high schools. There was a duty on the Dharma stove, which he carried in a bucket from a coal yard beside the schoolyard, and regularly refueled with a scoop. Dharma stoves, which were so popular at schools around the country, seemed to have been replaced by gas and oil heaters in the late Showa period. My personal memories of the Dharma stove were lost, and I was studying for the exams. I was attending. I and my friend were always in a room that could accommodate 100 people. I think that's because the library wasn't doing library work yet, and was just opening a study room. The heater only had a dharma stove near the entrance of the study room, and it was far from studying because of the cool air blowing from the window a little distance from the stove. So by necessity my friend and I were studying side by side with a desk next to the Dharma stove. I was having trouble with the Dharma stove. Over time, a large humidifying lid on the stove rattled. If you do so, you will not be able to concentrate on your study and you will be frustrated. A nervous friend could not stand it and poured a kettle into the washroom and filled with fresh water. One day, a friend came home from the washroom. According to him, a staff member was found to be running hot water in the washroom and was angry when the washbasin was broken. Then, for a while, they were bothered by the rattle of the pot, but came up with a breakthrough solution. Just take the lid of the kettle

A mysterious location on the 2nd floor of the UR building on the side of Shinarakawa Bridge. The inside is pretty beautiful, so it seems that they have moved. You can learn about the history and industry of Kawaguchi City for 100 yen. It also serves as a storage / research facility for cultural properties, and depending on the time of year, you can also visit the storage of cultural properties.

The road to the building is quite complicated. A detour even on a bicycle. Cross a large pedestrian bridge on foot. .. It's a feeling.

Unexpected location For some reason, it is on the second floor of a UR apartment. Even though there was a big sign in front of me, I passed by without noticing it. Please be careful when you visit. There is a charge here and the admission fee is 100 yen for adults. The interior is divided into two rooms, and historical materials are on the left when facing the office. The history of Kawaguchi is exhibited in chronological order. The right is a folk document, but it is truly a cupola town. There are molds and castings. It is said that the founders began to accumulate in Kawaguchi from the Kamakura period. It's been so long ago. By the way, there are many celebrities from Kawaguchi City, but it is worth mentioning that it is a special production area (?) For female professional wrestlers. Including Cutie Suzuki who prevailed in the world, Bull Nakano, Mayumi Ozaki, Nanami Takahashi. All are from Kawaguchi City. If anyone knows why so many people come from, please let us know! I wonder if women's professional wrestling will be done at this special exhibition next time.
