Folk tools that convey the living culture of Hakui are on display In Exhibition Room 1 of the Hakui City History and Folklore Museum. Visitors can view agricultural tools, fishing gear, and everyday items collected from various locations within the city at the time of the museum's opening. Lifestyles in Hakui can be broadly categorized into coastal, mountainous, sandy ridge, lagoon (lowland), and urban living. Even within the same city, the tools used for daily life differ, allowing visitors to understand the unique characteristics of the local culture.
One particularly notable feature is the inland fishing gear from Ouchi lagoon Although it has now been transformed into rice fields due to national land reclamation projects, Ouchi lagoon was once the largest lagoon in Noto. The lagoon was utilized for freshwater fishing of carp and crucian carp, as well as for water transportation of people and goods, making it an integral part of daily life. Today, only the folk tools that convey this history remain. We hope you will take the time to visit the folk tools exhibition room.
