Kanazawa Folklore Museum
Experience the rich culture of Kanazawa, Experience the days of old
Kanazawa developed as a large castle town. The lord Maeda passionately introduced Kyoto culture and developed various kinds of traditional industries in Kanazawa. At the same time, samurai culture influenced by Edo (present-day Tokyo) remains because around half of Kanazawa's population was made up of samurai families.
Kanazawa has a rich natural environment, which has created distinctive culture and lifestyles through seasonal blessings such as those brought about by the severe winter.
The museum exhibits articles related to the life and customs of the people of Kanazawa, introducing distinctive cuisine, festivals and seasonal townscapes through photos.
We hope you will feel the richness of Kanazawa folklore culture through the exhibits.
