[Chuo Ward Town Walk] Edoya, Ozu Washi, Pharmaceutical Museum

[Maritsuki] July 25, 2012 13:30

Popular town walk series hosted by Chuo-ku Tourism Association

I accompanied the "long-established and drug museum course"sun

 

 

The first time I visited was Edoya, a long-established brush and brush manufacturer.

 

In the era of Tokugawa Yatsushiro shogun Yoshimune (1718 and 1718), the family name of Edoya was adopted by the Shogun family.

He was founded.

The skillful technique of sticking to natural materials that are kind to people is shining.shine

Next is Ozu Washi, a long-established Japanese paper shop. 

 

In 1653, Seizaemon Ozu departed from Matsusaka, Ise, and opened a paper merchant in Temmacho, Edo.

Visit the Ozu Historical Museum, which is attached to the store.

Of the more than 1,200 points of ancient document designated as a registered Tangible Cultural Property in Chuo-ku

About 1,000 historical materials are published.

Finally, the Drug Museum, which just opened in February this year. 

 

It is a museum for you to experience medicine, fun and easy to understand.

I couldn't shoot inside, but I did a lot of things related to medicine.

I was able to experience it in various ways and it was very fun.clip
