A special event at the Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of History looks into Japanese medieval manufacturing, with a specific focus on tools and utensils that were excavated from the Kusado Sengen-cho site. This medieval town was located in present-day Fukuyama City, Hiroshima.
The various artifacts on display will showcase the technical skills that were required to make certain pieces, and how early medieval manufacturing was able to enrich people's lives.
Adult admission to the event is priced at 290 yen.
