Ogi Folk Museum – Sado – Niigata – 佐渡国小木民俗博物館

Welcome to the Ogi Folk Museum, located in the charming Sado Island in Japan. This museum offers a unique opportunity to delve into the rich cultural heritage of the island and learn about the local customs, traditions, and history.

The Ogi Folk Museum is a beautifully preserved traditional Japanese house, also known as a “kominka,” which was built over 200 years ago. The house has been carefully restored to its original state, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience life as it was centuries ago. The museum offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who inhabited the house, showcasing their daily routines, tools, and artifacts.

As you walk through the museum, you’ll be able to admire the intricate woodwork and the traditional thatched roof, which was made using local materials. The rooms are decorated with authentic furniture and household items, such as wooden chests, utensils, and cooking tools, providing an immersive experience of the daily life of a rural Japanese family.

The museum also offers a fascinating insight into the customs and traditions of the island, with displays on traditional festivals, ceremonies, and crafts. You’ll see examples of intricate weaving, dyeing, and pottery, as well as traditional clothing and musical instruments.

In the adjoining exhibition hall, a fully-restored Sengokubune (large wooden freight ship) “Hakusanmaru” is on display. The ship was restored based on the design drawings of the ship “Koeimaru”, which was built in 1858 in Shukunegi.

The Ogi Folk Museum is an excellent opportunity to learn about the history and culture of Sado Island, and to gain a deeper appreciation of the traditions that continue to influence the island’s way of life. This museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in Japanese culture or who wants to experience the authentic, traditional lifestyle of the island’s past.
