Small barrels and tubs have been excavated from regions in northern Kyushu, such as Hakata, Hakozaki, and Dazaifu, in present-day Fukuoka Prefecture. Since these artifacts are found in areas where a large Chinese population resided at the time, they are believed to have been imported from the continent, likely as a result of trade between Japan and the Song Dynasty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003ePeriod 2 (Spread Phase): This phase occurs during the 14th century, when the use of these containers spread from northern Kyushu to the Saga and Seto Inland Sea areas. In addition to small containers, well covers (ido-gawa) have been discovered. Although these well covers are not made by tying, they share a similar structural form, as they are made by arranging slats of wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003ePeriod 3 (Establishment Phase): From the 15th to the 16th century, these containers spread further to the Kanto and Koshinetsu regions. In addition to barrels and well covers, early barrels (called hayabuta) and latrines began to use this technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003ePeriod 4 (Nationwide Expansion Phase): From the 17th century to the early 20th century, the use of these containers expanded across the country. While cylindrical shapes were predominant until then, non-cylindrical shapes also began to emerge. Large containers, such as those used for brewing and holding 100 koku (a unit of volume), appeared. These containers were used not only for household purposes but also in agriculture, fishing, and mining industries. Particularly during the Edo period, it can be said that the world moved through barrels and tubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003ePeriod 5 (Decline Phase): In the post-war period, from the mid-20th century onward, barrels and tubs began to decline as they were replaced by industrial products such as bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eTanikawa Woodwork Studio\u003cbr\u003eTanikawa Woodwork Studio was founded in 1955 in Miki-machi, Kida-gun, Kagawa Prefecture, as a sushi barrel manufacturer. \u003cbr\u003eSince its establishment, the warmth of wood created by hands has been our most important value.\u003cbr\u003eUsing domestically grown Japanese cedar, we are one of the few remaining bucket makers in Kagawa Prefecture, offering wooden products centering on buckets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6621\/9493\/files\/nigawasan.png?v=1757315516\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eI feel the greatest happiness in being able to work with wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThere are many other places that make industrial products that are mass-produced.
