Kyushu, Japan - A festival boat exhibition like a welcoming boat for the king: Nagasaki Traditional Performing Arts Museum

#Exhibition #100 Ways to Travel

After visiting the most beautiful Glover Garden in Nagasaki, we visited the free attraction #Nagasaki Traditional Arts Museum, which specializes in displaying the dragon dances, umbrellas and hokobo used in Nagasaki festivals, as well as lifelike festival boats. It has a very special exhibition space and exhibition content.

It’s like walking into an underground arch tunnel in the huge exhibition space, with a high ceiling. Several large sacrificial boats are displayed in the windows on both sides. The sacrificial boats are of various shapes, with fine workmanship and gorgeous decorations, which are breathtaking. There is even a dragon boat shape! It reminds people of the Wangchuan in Donggang, which is quite interesting in that they are different but have the same purpose.

There are many Chinese people in Nagasaki, and the boat festival culture may have been introduced by the Chinese, but it also has a lot of traditional Japanese ghost culture. The shapes of the mythical beasts are very realistic and scary, and there are also various elves and shikigami.

I took a quick look and listened to the film introduction. Although I don't understand Japanese, I can see that Nagasaki, as a seaport, has been influenced by many foreign cultures and has a strong exotic flavor. The exhibition area is connected to the store, which sells a variety of souvenirs and cultural and creative products, which is quite interesting.
