Dutch state-of-the-art technology at the time of construction
The feature of this sluice is that the sluice is opened and closed by connecting the mandrel of the potter's wheel and the sluice of the sluice with a rope and turning the iron handle to move the sluice up and down. using the latest Dutch technology. Therefore, it was called "Nanban-hi" (or Nanman-hi) because it was a gutter that used techniques imported from Nanban. The Nanban-hi, which was built near the mouth of the Kumagawa River, was designated as a Tangible Folk Cultural Asset of Yamaguchi Prefecture on November 6, 1990 as the Dotemachi Nanban-hi. Although it was removed due to river improvement work on the Kumagawa River, it was relocated and restored in December 2015 in order to preserve the value of the Nanban gutter as a cultural property. Horikawa Nanbanhi and the Museum of History and Folklore are nearby. moat
