Hashimoto Gallery Bizen Pottery Sankoan

We are the art gallery which I sell various artworks including a Japanese painting, industrial arts, the ceramic art in Imbe, Bizen-shi. We hold a plan exhibition regularly in the second-floor gallery and perform inheritance consultation, a purchase, assessment, the judgment of artworks. In addition, I sell Bizen ceramic ware of Kazuya Hashimoto and SANKOUAN in the first-floor shop. The experience of the soil twist is popular, too.

Unrin-ji Temple

The story goes back to the Edo Period and takes place in the Hagi Castle. Terumoto Mori was a famous samurai who built Hagi-han. One of his men named Motofusa Nagai had been very loyal to him. It is said that Motofusa Nagai had a lovely kitten. However, soon after Terumoto Mori passed away, Motofusa Nagai, the owner of the lovely kitten, also followed him into the grave. The little kitten wouldn’t leave Motofusa Nagai’s tomb and had waited in front of the tomb for 49 days. Later, to meet its owner, the kitten committed suicide by biting its tongue and then died. The local monks held a grand ceremony of condolence for the kitten. Up to now, this story about the loyal kitten continues in the Unrinji Buddhist Temple.

If you like cats and you’re going to the Hagi area, this place needs to be on your list! The people who work here were super nice and I just loved all of the cat figures everywhere. It’s a small temple, but it is one of the cutest temples I have ever been too. Be sure to take you Shuincho (temple stamp book)! The Goshuin here is cute!
