[Music] [Applause] Toyama prefecture is where the mountains meet the sea known for its craftsmanship it’s now easier than ever to get to thanks to the recent extension of the Hoku Riku Shin Consin bullet train line I’m taking advantage of this new access to explore some of toyama’s historic cities people have been making and trading things here for centuries and I get to try my own hand at some traditional metal working then it’s time to celebrate with the locals at one of the Region’s spectacular Autumn festivals [Music] takaka city was once a powerful Center of Commerce and Industry in Japan today yamach chuji street is a testament to taka’s Merchant past where you can visit authentic Doo zukuri style homes like the sugana residence this is is one of the largest dozo zukuri style house in Yama district and they have very siick walls um as a fireproof and they have the double door windows they also closes when the fire happens both commercial and residential the houses were rebuilt in the 1900s after a fire burnt down more than half the city okay so this part is a shop area now we are in the negotiation room the room is the most variable room in this house and they invite the most barable clients and have negotiations here visitors can admire the rich details afforded by the Merchant’s extraordinary wealth like Lattis wall panels and custommade nail covers Beyond trade takaoka was also one of the country’s biggest hubs for metal casting especially copper over the years many workshops have been shuttered or have moved away from traditional techniques but the iconic no Saku Factory found a way to maintain its 100-year-old sand casting method by supporting it through an industrial tourism to cast down the tradition to the Next Generation we are thinking that it is very important to show our traditional crafts and also the Craftsman working sandcasting foros chemical treatment and firing using natural materials that are entirely recyclable at no isaku each brass and Tin object no matter how small is handcrafted and Polished one by one they make it look easy but can anyone do it I’m testing my skills at no saku’s Workshop uh this is a pattern for the item you are going to make today so this Dent side down please put this almost the middle inside Z frame I’m making a sake cup from Pure tin which is said to reduce acidity and enhance the drink’s flavor you need a firm but delicate touch so the sand is densely packed without falling apart after removing the mold mumi poured in the molten tin and just like that I had a beautiful handmade sakei cup thank you so much for teaching me how to make this I’m very happy with my little sakei cup education isn’t the only way to carry on these local Traditions every October in imizu the hu hachim mangu Shrine Festival brings the whole region out to take part in a nearly 400-year-old [Music] celebration residents young and old parade around town at top intricate hiyama float to give thanks to their Shinto gods and pray for Prosperity the local deity also comes down to earth at top of portable Shrine this year’s event represents amu’s post earthquake recovery Mr Nano gave me a jacket from his district so I could join the procession the energy was incredible as was the teamwork needed to push these very heavy floats today there are no more artisans in yizu who know how to make hiyama but the Customs are lovingly preserved as night falls flowers are replaced with lanterns bathing the streets in an ethereal glow Toyama clearly Treasures its traditions and the people who keep them going because of events like this Festival the past will live on through future Generations I felt a strong sense of community here and it’s been a joy taking part in this celebration of local culture
