Hamacho Sanpo 2 Bowling Historical Museum

[Bird] 17:00 on July 31, 2009

bowling3.jpg Today we will show you the rare museum in Hamacho. "Bowling Archives" is located on the third floor of a building just in front of Meijiza. It is a small historical museum with only one room, but there are collections of coveted for bowling lovers.

bowling1.jpg The beginning of bowling in Japan was the Edo period. In 1861, a bowling alley was established in Nagasaki and Dejima. Did you know? From precious historical materials of that time, valuable historical materials such as magazines, books, and goods are available. The top of the photo is Japan's oldest "wooden" bowl used on Dejima, and the bottom is a bowl used by Takeshi Kaneshiro in the drama "Golden Bowl". I want to touch it! (No, no)

It feels like all stress is blowing away, right? That should be the case, and it is designed to make a good sound by using hard maple material for the pins and hollows inside. Surprisingly, there was a delicate trick. Even now, bowling is a popular sport, and many classrooms for juniors are also open. And I have come back to my youth! I'm going to bowling this weekend!
