Overview | This facility promotes the excellent Jomon culture of the Tohoku region through exhibits and hands-on exchanges based on the results of excavations at the Korekawa and Kazehari ruins from the final Jomon period. It actively strives to display and utilize buried cultural properties excavated from ruins within the city, as well as to properly preserve and manage them, and plays a role in conveying the importance of protecting buried cultural properties. The excavated pottery is called Kamegaoka-style pottery, and is characterized by its delicate design. The permanent exhibition room displays around 600 important cultural properties, including the National Treasure "Gassho Clay Figure." |

Issues/Themes | From the Korekawa ruins, which are located in low-lying marshes, in addition to beautifully crafted pottery, a large number of various artifacts that provide information about that time period have been excavated. Using these artifacts, we hope to create an exhibition that conveys the lives of the Jomon people at that time. |
Space Solution/Realization | In order to clarify the characteristics of each exhibit in the permanent exhibition room, it is divided into "right brain/left brain zones." The right brain zone allows visitors to intuitively appreciate shapes and colors, while the left brain zone allows visitors to logically learn about meanings and associations. By using exhibition methods suited to the characteristics of the exhibits, we have created an exhibition that allows visitors to learn while experiencing firsthand the lives of the Jomon people, who coexisted with the natural environment at that time. |
