Takase-bune table and bamboo blind

Opportunities for people to interact with each other
The Takase-bune table symbolizes how boats were once pulled by hand along the Takase River. The Takase-bune table is a face-to-face type counter that allows people to interact with each other. The table is made of wood to symbolize Kiyamachi, a lumber town through which the Takase River flows. Another of its charms is the "blind" (noren) inside the Takase-bune table, which reveals the landscape of the Takase River and the Sanjo Bridge, where boats were hauled by human power back in the day.
