About this event
In the special exhibition Tools That Tell History held at the Wakayama City Museum, folk and farming tools that once supported our daily lives are displayed across 7 themes. Through categories such as Tools of Daily Life, Play and Study, Lighting Tools, Dining Tools, Measuring Tools, Warming Tools, and Rice Farming Tools, visitors can learn about the lifestyles and wisdom of people of those times. Around 60 precious tools—including ice refrigerators, black rotary phones, hibachi braziers, washboards, and irons—are on display, allowing visitors to sense the breath of life distinct from modern times through these items reflecting their eras. In particular, the hands-on event Can We Use Old Tools? Can We Play with Them? offers an opportunity to experience history more deeply by actually handling the tools.
