Dozo-zukuri houses transformed into Hina-dolls galleries!
This is a dolls festival that is held in the Yamachosuji area, a Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, where rows of dozo-zukuri (earthen-wall storehouse style) houses still remain. During the festival, traditional houses that are normally closed to the public, such as the Sugano House, the Dozo-zukuri Museum (used to be the Murosaki House) and the Ikadai House, are transformed into galleries displaying dolls. This is a chance to see the evolving styles of beautiful dolls and the interiors of old houses that you can’t normally visit.

‘Kanaya Machi Rakuichi in Samanoko’ is an event held in Kanayamachi town, the birthplace of Takaoka traditional casting that goes back 400 years. The townscape of Kanayamachi is characteristic of beautiful vertical lattices（samanoko in Japanese）which have been maintained since the Edo period. In this event, the town is designed as a museum, where manufactured art works or craft products are displayed and sold. There will be a special program, in which you can wear kimono, and enjoy yourself at a tea ceremony with craft works, so as to touch the essence of Japanese craft making. A workshop of basic casting will be held, too. This is the best opportunity to experience Japanese culture that is being lost in large cities. We really hope you will come along.
