It says on the brochure “The daimyo lord Maeda clan introduced culture of Kyoto (which has lots of art crafts such as luxurious fabrics), therefore various traditional crafts were created in Kanazawa where samurais accounted for half of its population. The customs and lives in Kanazawa are shown here.
藩主前田家が「京文化」を熱心に取り入れ、様々な伝統産業を生んだ金沢は、人口の半分近くを武家が占めた、とリーフレットに書かれている。金沢の風習や生活が展示されている。
The building of this museum was a junior high school which was built in 1899. It’s charming.

Life before WWⅡ、戦前のくらし
Fishing gear for hobby: Fishing rods and flies made in this region “Kaga” are called “Kaga-sao” and “Kaga-kebari” are gears that amateur fishermen long to have. Those are exhibited in Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Traditional Arts and Crafts, too. The length of the ayu (sweetfish) pole is adjusted by the number of rods. The joints are reinforced by Japanese lacquer which is also a specialty of this region.釣り道具。加賀竿と毛針は、釣り人の憧れの一つのようだ。県立伝統産業工芸館にも展示されている。鮎竿は必要な長さに継いで使う。継ぎ口は漆で補強しているという。

Kaga-kebari (Fries) are used to fish ayu mainly. These collections
imagine me the fishing scene in the river.
加賀毛針は主に鮎釣り用。こういうコレクションは、釣りの様子を思い起こさせて実に楽しい。

In the showcase below, seasonal traditions are exhibited. From left, Konpeitou sugar confectionary used at Girls’ festival “Hina-matsuri” in March. The snow, which is stored in the end of January, is taken out in the end of June. People eat Himuro manjyu (sweet bean-jam bun) on the 1st of July while praying for good health. In the autumn, they made Oshi-sushi for the autumn festival. It says those are made through processes of placing vinegared fish such as mackerel over vinegared rice, placing shrimp and dark blue seaweed and pressing them. In the winter, they use hibachi brazier. The decorated one by lacquer and gold is displayed. They enjoy each season.

| Oshi-sushi、お祭り料理の押し寿司 |
３月の金花糖、ひな祭りに飾られる砂糖菓子。６月は氷室開き。１月末に詰めた雪を６月末に取り出す。７月１日には無病息災を願い氷室饅頭を食べる。秋は、秋祭りの押し寿司用の木枠。押し寿司は、酢飯に、春は鰯、秋は鯖などを並べて、海老・紺のりを載せて、重しをかけて作る。発酵はさせないようだ。冬は、蒔絵を施した桐火鉢。雪国金沢の四季それぞれの楽しみがある。
The bedroom in summer. When I was a child, a mosquito net (kaya) was still used. Sleeping under it gave me special feeling. You can put on yukata (Japanese nightwear) and take photos here.

Hakozen trey; everyone had their own tray before
we used a table which were introduced from western countries. There are two dishes
(including pickled vegetable), one soup and rice. It is simple, however eating
is absolutely fun.

This is a Chabudai table which is
influenced by western culture. When we sleep, we fold its legs and set it aside,
then we lay futon mats; our dining room is also a bedroom.
