For three days on August 6, 7, and 8, the annual "Setono City" began.

Unfortunately, it was the start of rain, but many people came to see and selected items.

Some shops have brands such as Edo Kiriko, Bizen ware, Arita ware, etc. from household goods and lacquerware.

You can enjoy it.

Organized by Kakihama-kai (Setomono wholesaler) and handbills

I would like to introduce "Why Ningyocho Seito no Matsuri".

 During the Edo period, the area of Ningyocho, which was sandwiched between the Nihonbashi River and the Hakozaki River, was convenient for sea transportation.  

 It flourished as a collection point for daily necessities such as sugar, soy sauce, and grain.

 Along with them, a ceramic wholesaler in Hamacho and Kakigara-cho covered the heads of households throughout the Kanto region.

 We hold "Setonoichi" to convey the bustle of the old days every year for three days in the first week of August.

 

At Great Kannon Teramae, a "rokuro experience classroom" is also held.
