The Timeless Story of Fujinomiya - Spinning Peace from a Papermaking Town

A Home to the Vibrant Paper Culture

Fujinomiya City, located in the center of Shizuoka, was once a thriving town for the papermaking industry. Blessed with abundant water sources, the local people made paper their livelihood. In this museum, you can experience the paper culture deeply rooted in Fujinomiya. The history of papermaking is clearly displayed, allowing you to reflect on the lifestyle of that time.

Dreams Witnessed amidst the Flames of War

At the same time, this land also depicts other important histories. Influenced by the Manchurian Incident, many people from Fujinomiya were forced to go to Manchuria. In a corner of the museum, the situation at that time is meticulously recorded. We must learn the folly of war and the value of precious lives.

Balancing with the Environment

Along with the rise and fall of the papermaking industry, this region has also suffered from pollution. However, people have learned to care for the environment and have made efforts towards a circular society. In the museum, these trial-and-error processes are exhibited, suggesting a path towards sustainable living.

Symbol of Life, Mount Fuji

The majestic figure of Mount Fuji viewed from the museum will be the pride of the local inhabitants. Here, a rich natural culture has been nurtured, along with the souls of people who yearn for peace. The grand mountain range of Fuji has been watching over the human journey. Just like enveloping the visiting people.

You can learn about the history of paper manufacturing in Fuji. You can learn why paper manufacturing developed from the geology of Fuji. There is a small room in the corner of the second floor, and when you enter, you will find various details about the migration of Fuji citizens to Manchuria. There aren't many exhibits, but the main points are well laid out and easy to understand. It is also mentioned after the Manchurian Incident. Not surprisingly, it was harshly criticized at the time. I thought that China had a different responsibility for the war than the one against South Korea. Revisited in December H23. An employee seemed to be interested in motorcycles and approached me. He also told us about the wide area wetlands of those days. It is said that rice fields were often washed away due to frequent river floods, and it sometimes took five years to harvest. From the west is the water of the Fuji River. From the east comes spring water around Mt. Fuji and many rivers. It seems that the main reason why paper making flourished was because there was an abundance of water, rather than because there were many plants that could be used to make fiber! At one point, it seems that due to overuse of groundwater, seawater 🌊 entered the ground around Numazu Port. The second floor is the history of Fuji Paper. Numazu Port has become famous for its pollution. Apparently, some people went to the factory to collect the paper sludge that became the source of the sludge, knowing that it would later be turned into fuel (drying/coagulation) or fertilizer. No matter where you drive in Fuji City, you can see Mt. Fuji🗻. I think it must be a luxury. Especially when it's cold, it's beautiful to wear a crown! Even in Fuji City, the smell of chemicals from the paper mill on the south side of the Kuni 1 Bypass is overwhelming. It feels even harder on a bike💧 In the small room on the second floor, the special feature on Manchuria was no longer available. It looks like there will be regular exhibitions.

The building looks a little different. The exhibits inside are like a folklore museum, so if you're not interested, you can just look at it and be done with it.

Fuji City's paper history and war history If you are a citizen of Fuji, you should definitely visit it at least once to see the great floods in the Suzukawa area. It's impossible!
