Museum • Denbo, Fuji, Shizuoka 417-0061, Japan
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.
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.
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.
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.
