A museum that tells the history of the metalworking industry in Tsubame, a manufacturing town where visitors can encounter craftsmanship that has continued since the Edo period. The history of Tsubame's 400-year history of metalworking technology development since the Edo period is introduced through state-of-the-art videos. In addition to works by metalworking artists and living national treasures who are still active today, the exhibition also features a valuable collection of Kiseru(pipe)and 5,000 spoons from around the world. At the hands-on workshop, visitors can experience metalworking, which is rare in Japan, by becoming a Tsubame craftsman and casually making things, such as “hammering” to create patterns using a hammer and “making sake cups” to mold vessels. Visitors can create one-of-a-kind original goods by watching and touching the work.
