Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse, Cultural museum in Aomori, Japan
Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse houses four large illuminated paper floats depicting mythological figures and warriors in a spacious two-story exhibition hall. The spaces also display crafting techniques used in the construction of these objects.
The museum was established to preserve the traditions of the Nebuta Festival, a centuries-old celebration in northern Japan. This creation marks an important chapter in keeping regional festivities alive for future generations.
The place serves as a center where people come to experience the music of the Nebuta Festival through performances of flutes, drums, and shamisen. Visitors can observe how these art forms remain alive today and understand their role in the community.
The facility opens daily and accommodates visitors with different mobility needs, including wheelchair access. A large parking area on-site makes arriving by car convenient.
Visitors can learn in dedicated rooms how to perform the traditional dance movements of the festival, which are otherwise only seen during live performances. This hands-on experience allows people to understand the artistic effort behind the performances themselves.
