Jomon Jiyukan

Reviewed By Cyber0515 - Tokyo, Japan

発掘された土器や生活用品、ヒスイ、土偶などが一堂に展示されている、まさに縄文文化の宝物館とも言うべき博物館です。発掘された品々を元に、当時の様々な生活環境が模型や人形等で表現されています。特にヒスイは三内丸山遺跡から産出されたものではなく、糸魚川流域で産出されたものであるため、既にこの時代からも盛んに交易が行われていたことを示す貴重な史料です。縄文文化を展示する博物館ではありますが、館内は清潔でとても洗練されており、各展示物の解説も多言語表記であるため、海外からの観光客も楽しむことが出来ます。 展示の他にも、縄文服の試着や勾玉づくりなどのワークショップが開催されていることもあります。都市部では出来ない体験をここですることが出来るでしょう。 It is a museum that should be called the Treasure Museum of Jomon culture, a large number of items from the excavated Jomon period are exhibited, such as Potteries, Livingwares, Jade and Earthen figures. Based on the excavated items, life at that time is represented by models and dolls. Because those jade were not produced here, but in the Itoi River basin, they indicate that trading was also active during the Jomon period. The exhibition method of the museum is very modern and sophisticated. Each commentary is multilingual, so tourists from overseas can enjoy it. In addition to the exhibitions, there are occasions where there are workshops on fitting clothes and making jewels for the Jomon period. You can do an experience here that you can not experience in urban areas.
