Sugaya Tatara operated for 130 years until 1921, and was the frontline of ironmaking for the Tanabe family. Furthermore, the remains of iron-sand screening sites, accompanied by sluices and watercourses, also remain close to the settlement, allowing one to visit and observe the entire process of the industrial heritage that dates back to the early modern period.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-heading\">The architectural heritages of Sugaya Tatara Sannai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-snow-monkey-blocks-container smb-container c-container\"><div class=\"smb-container__body\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-snow-monkey-blocks-spider-slider smb-spider-slider smb-spider-slider--4x3\" data-fade=\"true\" data-interval=\"5000\"><div class=\"spider\"><div class=\"spider__canvas\"><div class=\"spider__slide\" data-id=\"0\"><div class=\"smb-spider-slider__figure-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"spider__figure\" src=\"https:\/\/unnan-tatara.jp\/images\/2021\/01\/img_seichi_03.jpg\" alt=\"\u83c5\u8c37\u9ad8\u6bbf\u5916\u89b3\" data-image-id=\"1281\"\/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spider__slide\" data-id=\"1\"><div class=\"smb-spider-slider__figure-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"spider__figure\" src=\"https:\/\/unnan-tatara.jp\/images\/2021\/01\/img_seichi_04.jpg\" alt=\"\u83c5\u8c37\u9ad8\u6bbf\u5185\u90e8\" data-image-id=\"1282\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spider__dots\" data-thumbnails=\"false\"><button class=\"spider__dot\" data-id=\"0\">0<\/button><button class=\"spider__dot\" data-id=\"1\">1<\/button><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-heading\">Takadono<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop building where a furnace is equipped is called Takadono.

The business owners in this region\u2019s ironmaking industry were called Tesshi, meaning \u2018iron-makers.\u2019 They used to own and run several ironmaking sites around the town. Blacksmith workshops for Oh-kaji were located close to their residential property, which allowed them to practice integrated business operations. Tanabe family had long been appointed as a chief Tesshi by Matsue Domain during the Edo period that allowed them to receive recognition as one of the top Tatara entrepreneurs. With the advent of the Meiji period, more productive western-style ironmaking methods and the importation of cheaper raw iron had begun. Thus, the Tatara industry gradually declined and their Tatara business was finally closed in 1923.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-snow-monkey-blocks-items smb-items\"><div class=\"c-row c-row--margin\" data-columns=\"1\" data-md-columns=\"1\" data-lg-columns=\"2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-snow-monkey-blocks-items--banner c-row__col\"><div class=\"smb-items__banner smb-items__banner--standard\"><div class=\"smb-items__banner__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/unnan-tatara.jp\/images\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/img_seichi_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"wp-image-327\" style=\"opacity:1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unnan-tatara.jp\/images\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/img_seichi_08.jpg 500w, https:\/\/unnan-tatara.jp\/images\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/img_seichi_08-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-snow-monkey-blocks-items--banner c-row__col\"><div class=\"smb-items__banner smb-items__banner--standard\"><div class=\"smb-items__banner__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/unnan-tatara.jp\/images\/2021\/01\/img_seichi_10.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\u5409\u7530\u306e\u753a\u4e26\u307f\" width=\"308\" height=\"231\" class=\"wp-image-1285\" style=\"opacity:1\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"tanabe\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-snow-monkey-blocks-items smb-items tanabe\"><div class=\"c-row c-row--margin\" data-columns=\"1\" data-md-columns=\"2\" data-lg-columns=\"2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-snow-monkey-blocks-items--item--standard c-row__col\"><div class=\"smb-items__item\"><div class=\"smb-items__item__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/unnan-tatara.jp\/images\/2021\/01\/img_seichi_11-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\u7530\u90e8\u571f\u8535\u7fa4\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"wp-image-1286\"\/><\/div><div class=\"smb-items__item__body\"><h3 class=\"smb-items__item__title\">Storages of Tanabe Family<\/h3><div class=\"smb-items__item__content\">There are 20 storage buildings with white plastered walls belonging to the Tanabe family; these are aligned in the center of Yoshida Town.
