Before the arrival of full-scale winter, work on "Komokake" to protect the earthen wall from the cold and snow of winter has begun at the tourist attraction "Samurai Residence Ruins" in Kanazawa City.
"Komokake" is the work of covering the soil wall with "komo" knitted with straw to prevent the soil wall from peeling off due to snow and the water soaked from the surface from freezing and cracking.
"Komokake" began on the 4th at the "Samurai Residence Ruins", which retains the remnants of the castle town of the Edo period in Nagamachi, Kanazawa.
Approximately 30 people, including trainees from "Kanazawa Craftsman College" studying the landscaping industry, work on the work, and while receiving guidance from veteran craftsmen, use a rope to "komo" with a height of 1 meter and a width of 3 meters and 50 centimeters. I hung it.
Tourists who visited the Samurai residence stopped and took pictures to see the work of "Komokake".
A woman in her 50s from Osaka said, "I was impressed by the craftsmen who continued to work while it was raining to protect cultural properties from snow. I would like to come again in winter."
The "Komokake" at the site of the samurai residence will be held on the 5th, and you will be able to see the scenery of the "Komo" on the soil wall until mid-March next year.
