can be found at Shikoku Mura, donated by Eitaro Shimoki. The house's original location was at the highest point of the mountain village of Itchuson Kijiya, 1,000 metres above sea level.
In the entrance-work area are a clay threshing floor and a mortar for hulling wheat and barley. The clay oven and pot was used for boiling a teburous root to make konnyaku.
Talking about hulling, here's a hut with a water driven mortar for hulling rice. Cool, right?
Such device was still used in Shikoku to hull rice up to the 1950s! By the way, it's a pity that we somehow missed taking photos of the interior (and the mortar inside) of this hut. Ah well...
By the way, have you read my rather rambling posts on a few other exhibits in Shikoku Mura?
A few homes here and here. A place where they made sugar and drink tea here. Paper was made here. The path you can take to walk around the open-air museum here. Lighthouses and the keeper's home here.
