The symbol of Kumano, the city of brushes, with gratitude for brushes
In September 1965, "Fudezuka" was erected in the precincts of Sakakiyama Shrine to express gratitude for the fine art of brushes and the achievements of the pioneers of brush making. The monument next to the monument says, "It is the Kumano brushes that support Japan's unique calligraphy culture. Our ancestors brought Kumano brushes into Kumano for a living, and we have further refined the technique. , Kumano brushes spread both inside and outside the country.We townspeople live by making brushes.Believing that brushes have "life", the spirit of brushes, virtue, pride and gratitude to ancestors. With this in mind, there is a message that says, "We will build a mound here." At the "Fude Matsuri" held once a year on the day of the autumnal equinox, the brushes that have been used up until now are held in high regard.
