Navigating Rivers and Seas: Transportation, Distribution, and Waterways in Tokai

About this event

The special exhibition "Navigating Rivers and Seas: Transportation, Distribution, and Waterways in Tokai" at the Kariya City Historical Museum focuses on the history of the Sakai and Aizuma Rivers flowing through Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture, into Kinu-ga-ura, unraveling the role that rivers and seas played in transportation and distribution across the Tokai region. Touching upon ports dotting the opposite Chita Peninsula and the maritime transport across Ise Bay—vital transportation and trade routes from ancient to early modern times—the exhibition introduces the expansion of sea routes and trade goods carried by boats through the people and commodities traveling along rivers and seas. This exhibition offers a valuable opportunity to deeply understand regional history and culture.
