00:00Good evening, everyone!
00:04I hope you're all doing well at Bohemian Park.
00:07I'm alone today, so I'm sure we're going to the museum.
00:12Honda will be in charge of the project called,
00:14A Trip to Machikado Museum.
00:18Machikado Museum is a unique museum in all of Mie Prefecture.
00:23We'll visit the director's workplace and home,
00:26where you can enjoy his unique collections and craftsmanship.
00:32We're going to learn more about Mie Prefecture by visiting Machikado Museum.
00:40We're in the outskirts of Yokkaichi.
00:42I've never been to an area like this before.
00:46It's around here.
00:47This time, it's a turtle.
00:50A collection of turtles?
00:52Oh, here it is!
00:54Is this it?
00:55A turtle museum?
00:56That's right.
00:57It's a collection of turtles from all over the world.
01:03There must be a reason why people love turtles.
01:06There must be a reason why people love turtles.
01:10I'm excited to find out.
01:13Shall we go?
01:14Is it close?
01:15It's within walking distance.
01:17Really?
01:19A Trip to Machikado Museum
01:21Our trip to Machikado Museum is in Yokkaichi.
01:27We'll visit the turtle museum, a collection of turtles themed on turtles.
01:33According to the website, it's next to Yokkaichi Fruit and Vegetable Center.
01:40Fresh vegetables are on sale every Tuesday.
01:43It's almost Wednesday.
01:47It says, Yokkaichi Fruit and Vegetable Center.
01:50Oh, it's Yokkaichi Fruit and Vegetable Center!
01:53According to the map, it's next to Yokkaichi Fruit and Vegetable Center.
01:59Next to Yokkaichi Fruit and Vegetable Center
02:01There are only a few buildings here.
02:06There's a turtle.
02:09There is.
02:10There are more turtles than I thought.
02:13There's a turtle.
02:14There's a turtle hiding in a bush.
02:17Camouflage turtle.
02:21I got it!
02:22There's a sign for Machikado Museum.
02:25There's a sign for Machikado Museum.
02:29There's a sign for the Tuesday auction.
02:34There's a turtle museum here.
02:37I think they sell vegetables here on Tuesdays.
02:44Let's go inside.
02:49Excuse me.
02:52Hello.
02:55Is this the turtle museum?
02:57Yes.
02:58Can I interview you?
03:03I wanted to talk about turtles,
03:05but I saw delicious-looking eggs, so I was curious.
03:08Oh, they sell rice, too.
03:12Thank you for coming.
03:15I'm sorry.
03:16It looks like the vegetables were sold out on the day off.
03:19No problem.
03:22This is the director of the turtle museum, Mr. Mori.
03:27He is also the representative of Yokkaichi Farm,
03:30which is the largest turtle farm in Japan.
03:35This is the turtle museum.
03:37Are there many collections of turtles?
03:39Yes, there are.
03:40There are so many kinds of turtles.
03:43We've been collecting turtles for 37 years.
03:4737 years?
03:49We have more than 7,000 collections.
03:53We're number one in Japan.
03:55No way.
03:57You can see about 1,000 kinds of turtles.
04:00Where are the other 6,000?
04:02They're in the warehouse at home.
04:04Oh, I see.
04:05We change them periodically.
04:07Are these mainly for turtles?
04:10Yes, they're mostly for turtles.
04:12These are only for this season.
04:16We change them depending on the season.
04:19You divide them into showcases.
04:20Yes.
04:21The grilled ones are in this area.
04:24This is the plastic.
04:26Oh, look.
04:27This is it.
04:28There's a kimono, of course.
04:31There's also a wristwatch.
04:35Plastic is a must.
04:38In the case of pottery and plastic,
04:40even if they have the same turtle motif,
04:42the texture is completely different.
04:43That's right.
04:44What is this?
04:46The face is retracted.
04:48You can put it out like this.
04:50You can put it out.
04:53The collection includes pottery, metal, plastic, etc.
04:59There's also a collection that is particular about turtles.
05:04Accessories.
05:06Turtle accessories.
05:08It's rare to see a turtle necklace.
05:12Can I open it?
05:14There's a ring.
05:16A ring necklace.
05:18And a brooch.
05:21The shape of the turtle shell is used as a traditional pattern in Japan.
05:29I think it's well-balanced.
05:32It's said that it's popular all over the world,
05:34in Europe and Hawaii.
05:35Isn't that unique to Japan?
05:37It's popular, isn't it?
05:39I see.
05:40It's not glass, but it's still good.
05:42It's like grilled shigarayaki.
05:45It's a good-looking grilled food.
05:48Yokkaichi used to be a grilled food town.
05:53At first, I liked grilled turtles.
05:59So, I went to a grilled food town all over Japan.
06:02I visited every house in Kamamoto.
06:05I asked if there were any turtles here.
06:07What kind of customers are they?
06:09That's right.
06:12Director Mori is a farmer.
06:15Why did he collect 7,000 kinds of turtles?
06:21At first, I went on a trip to China.
06:25The director said,
06:27I have to do something with my collection
06:30because I'm going to work with the world.
06:34I was wondering what to buy at the souvenir shop.
06:38A Chinese man told me that Japanese people like turtles.
06:44I was told that a turtle of this size costs 5,000 yen.
06:49At first, I didn't intend to buy it.
06:52After a week, I went back to the souvenir shop.
06:55The shop staff said,
06:57I'll sell it for 500 yen.
07:00I bought about 30 turtles on this trip.
07:05That was the beginning?
07:06Yes.
07:08The reason why he started collecting is that he was recommended by a Chinese man.
07:13From then on, he became addicted to turtles.
07:15Every time he traveled domestic and overseas, he collected them.
07:20He bought them at auctions.
07:22When he realized it, he had more than 7,000 kinds of turtles.
07:27This is the one I was talking about earlier.
07:30This is a four-leaf clover turtle.
07:32It's a Chinese turtle.
07:34There's a real turtle on the lid.
07:37There's a shell here.
07:38I expected it to come out.
07:40This is a great gimmick.
07:42Can I show it to the camera?
07:45When you pour tea from here, the turtle says hello.
07:50It's retracted.
07:51There's a turtle on the lid, too.
07:54Does it rotate?
07:55It's like a hand spinner.
08:00Is this also a four-leaf clover?
08:01Yes, it is.
08:02It has a good texture.
08:03At that time, only traditional Japanese crafts had turtles.
08:11That's right.
08:12You have to go to Kamamoto.
08:14I also liked baked goods.
08:16This is a stove made of Sado.
08:23This is cute.
08:24This is a stove made of Sado.
08:28Is this all Sado?
08:29That's right.
08:30This is Kiyomizu-yaki.
08:31Kiyomizu-yaki.
08:32Wow, it's cute.
08:34I like this expression.
08:37It's simple.
08:39But the color is beautiful.
08:43What about this area?
08:44This is Kyushu's scissor-grilled food.
08:47There are various types of grilled food in Kyushu.
08:50Kanatsu-yaki, scissor-grilled food, Imari-yaki, Arita-yaki.
08:53This is probably Arita-yaki.
08:54It's Arita-yaki.
08:57It's very flashy.
08:58The coloring is not like a real turtle.
09:02It's an art.
09:06After this, a cute brick toy appears.
09:11Honda is also very interested in the first experience.
09:16This is a moving brick.
09:21This is intense.
09:24This is designed to rotate from time to time.
09:35I want to have fun.
09:37I want to know more.
09:41What are you going to do?
09:45Take a bath in the sun.
09:52Honda, a boy who visited the Kamekame Museum in Yokkaichi City.
09:56This is his first experience with a nostalgic brick toy.
09:59I only know the name.
10:01The sound is good.
10:03This is a Zenmai.
10:07This is cute.
10:10It's not moving at all.
10:13This is the speed of a turtle.
10:15Can I try this?
10:17This is the first time to play with a brick toy in my life.
10:25This Zenmai is on the floor.
10:28Is this walking?
10:30This is not powerful.
10:32The face is cute.
10:34The eyelashes are long.
10:36I think this is made by a Kamezuki.
10:38Do you feel affection for this design?
10:43This is a rare item made in a foreign country.
10:48This is also a foreign product.
10:53This doesn't move.
10:55What do you think this is?
10:57This is not a Chorokyu.
11:01Can I try this?
11:04This is a spare wheel.
11:06This is fashionable.
11:08This is interesting.
11:10This is a European turtle from Spain.
11:14Can I put this on the cash register?
11:16Please put it on the cash register.
11:21I can't imagine this.
11:23I think there is a Neolgolo.
11:25I didn't expect this to be a spare wheel.
11:27This is fashionable.
11:29I didn't like turtles as animals.
11:32I didn't expect this to be a turtle collection.
11:35I didn't expect this to have such a future.
11:38I didn't expect to collect turtles in China.
11:41I didn't expect this to happen.
11:43When my children come to my house during the summer vacation,
11:46I say the same thing.
11:48Please collect something.
11:51If you collect more than 1,000 turtles and live for more than 30 years,
11:56friends from all over Japan will come to see you.
11:59It's a great story.
12:01It's a story that spreads in the circle of people.
12:04Did you tell me to collect something?
12:06Did you tell me something good?
12:08I thought it meant something like this.
12:11I was able to convey a lot of things.
12:15Please continue your treasure hunt.
12:17If you find something interesting, please tell me.
12:20Thank you very much.
12:23I didn't expect this to be a turtle collection.
12:26I didn't expect this to happen.
12:29I didn't expect this to happen.
12:32I was able to hear an interesting story.
12:34I stayed a little longer because it was fun.
12:37You're going to another store today, right?
12:39That's right.
12:40This is a rare collection in Japan.
12:42This is a rare collection in Japan.
12:45This is a rare collection in Japan.
12:47Is it rare next time?
12:49It's very rare.
12:52The next place we visit is Ipponmatsu in Kawara, Oya City.
12:58It's a museum with a unique name.
13:00What is there?
13:05If you look at the map, it should be around here.
13:08It's a museum in the city.
13:12There's a cute Doraemon.
13:15Isn't it here?
13:17That's right.
13:18There's a green sign at the entrance.
13:21I don't like this.
13:23It's a sign with a lot of flavor.
13:28It's a sign for a liquor store.
13:31It's an old-fashioned sign.
13:34Is it that kind of sign?
13:36Excuse me.
13:39I'm visiting a museum in the city.
13:42I'm Honda.
13:43Hello.
13:44Can I come in?
13:45Sure.
13:46I heard you're collecting retro stuff.
13:52This is the director, Mizutani.
13:55He's collecting retro stuff.
14:00There's a lot of space on the second floor.
14:06I'm curious about the benches.
14:08Hello.
14:10This is amazing.
14:13Be careful of your feet.
14:15You can't take it back.
14:18There are a lot of bottles.
14:22The collection consists of a glass bottle and a retro sign.
14:27The collection is lined up so that there is no place to step on.
14:33I'm excited to walk.
14:36Wait a minute.
14:38Is it around here?
14:39That's right.
14:40It's around here.
14:41I'm curious about the benches.
14:43Hello.
14:46This is amazing.
14:48Be careful of your feet.
14:50You can't take it back.
14:53There are a lot of bottles.
14:57The collection consists of a glass bottle and a retro sign.
15:03The collection consists of a glass bottle and a retro sign.
15:11I'm excited to walk.
15:15Wait a minute.
15:16Is it around here?
15:17That's right.
15:18It's around here.
15:20This is the first type of milk bottle.
15:24It's a little small.
15:26I wonder if 200 ml is in it.
15:28It depends on the company.
15:32It's about this size now.
15:36The standard is 180 cc.
15:40Is that the standard?
15:42The company name is engraved on the bottle.
15:46That's right.
15:50It's smaller and cuter than the current milk bottle.
15:53It's a milk bottle.
15:55The color of the bottle is different from green to brown.
16:01The color is also different.
16:03It's Yomeishu.
16:04Which one is it?
16:05This is Yomeishu.
16:08It's Yomeishu.
16:10It's easy to see what's left of the label.
16:13You can see what's left of the label with an embossing.
16:17For example, this is...
16:21It's Motocchi from Kusatsu Onsen.
16:24There is a source of hot spring in it.
16:26I don't think there is a source of hot spring in the bottle.
16:32There are many bottles, but there are also cans.
16:38This is an old Asahi beer.
16:40It's not a pull-top.
16:44I don't remember this type of beer.
16:48Is there a hole in it?
16:50There is a metal part that looks like a bird's beak.
16:55Is that why there is a hole in it?
16:57This is the first Asahi beer I drank.
17:02Look at the sign above.
17:04It's called Mecoca Pugia Tsuke.
17:06It's a Kagome ketchup.
17:10Kagome ketchup is very familiar to us.
17:14It's still familiar to us today.
17:16I can see that it has a long history.
17:20Director Mizutani talks about the retro collection.
17:25What made him fall in love with the bottle collection?
17:30When did you start collecting bottles?
17:32It's been more than 30 years.
17:35What made you start collecting bottles?
17:37There is a small shop in front of the station.
17:41It's like a junk shop.
17:43The shop was destroyed.
17:45There were a lot of old bottles on the back.
17:49I thought it was nostalgic.
17:53That's how I started collecting bottles.
18:00He found a retro glass bottle in the back yard of the shop.
18:05The collector's spirit was awakened from there.
18:08He collected empty bottles of beverages and medicines.
18:12He collected nostalgic signs called Hourou signs.
18:17He is a well-known collector in Japan.
18:24This is Pepsi No. 1.
18:27This is No. 1.
18:28This is No. 1.
18:29This is No. 1.
18:30This is No. 2.
18:31This is Pepsi Cola.
18:33The bottle is big.
18:35The bottle is big.
18:36We import only the contents and sell them in Japan.
18:41That's how it works.
18:44This is a new one.
18:46This is a new one.
18:47This is a new one.
18:48The contents of the bottle are still in it.
18:50It is rare to find a bottle like this.
18:58This is a mini-cola.
18:59Is this Coca-Cola?
19:02It's a small bottle of Coca-Cola.
19:04This is called Pachimon.
19:05Is this a small bottle of Coca-Cola?
19:06I don't think it's a Coca-Cola.
19:08I don't think it's a Coca-Cola.
19:10This is a mini-Cola.
19:12You can call this a cola, but it's not a Coca-Cola.
19:15Really? What is this?
19:16It's a parade cola.
19:18Parade cola?
19:19But even though it's not a Coca-Cola, but it's a cola,
19:25the font for the cola is too similar.
19:30It's very similar to Coca-Cola.
19:33There's also a phantom beer from Aichi prefecture.
19:39Oh, Kabuto beer?
19:40Kabuto beer.
19:41Kabuto beer?
19:42Yes, from Handa prefecture.
19:43In the old days, there was Asahi, right?
19:47Yes, that's right.
19:48So, the beer that represents Nagoya,
19:50or Aichi prefecture, is Kabuto.
19:52So this is the design.
19:54Yes.
19:55And this is a rare Kabuto beer cider.
19:58What?
19:59Kabuto cider.
20:00So it's not alcohol?
20:01It's cider.
20:02This is the packaging?
20:03Yes, this is the packaging.
20:04The owner of a museum in Handa prefecture, Aichi prefecture,
20:09showed me this.
20:10He brought it to me.
20:11Wow.
20:12He let me try it.
20:13He's on the Kabuto beer side.
20:15It's a good thing that he showed it to me.
20:20There's also milk from a nostalgic local brand.
20:25I've been drinking Nagoya milk a lot.
20:28Nagoya milk?
20:30This is the first time I've heard of Nagoya milk.
20:33What?
20:34Nagoya milk, do you drink it?
20:37That's what it says.
20:39You don't know Nagoya milk, do you?
20:42I think it was a sign of the old days.
20:45You don't know Nagoya milk, do you?
20:48It's a local brand.
20:51It's a local brand.
20:52Yes.
20:53I should have known about Nagoya milk.
20:57You don't know Nagoya milk?
20:59I didn't know.
21:00I was lost in Nagoya.
21:04After this, the captain's favorite collection will be on display.
21:16Okamoto-san?
21:18Yes, Okamoto-san.
21:23The next stop is the captain's favorite collection at Machikado Museum in Yokkaichi City.
21:30Oh!
21:31Isn't this an art explosion?
21:34The face of the tower of the sun.
21:37It's the face of Okamoto Taro.
21:43It's from the 1970s.
21:46It's been 54 years since Osaka Banpaku.
21:49This is Okamoto Taro.
21:51Okamoto Taro.
21:53This is clean beer.
21:55Is that beer?
21:56It's whiskey.
21:57It says Tsukuba Banpaku Expo 1815.
22:02This is a boy.
22:04This pink is a girl.
22:07It's a girl and a boy.
22:12Is that Okamoto Taro?
22:14Yes, it's Okamoto Taro.
22:16I see.
22:17I'll show you a lot.
22:18Can I show you my favorite signboard?
22:22It's right above you, Mr. Mizuzaki.
22:25Oh!
22:26Zoujirushi's Ja and Mahobin.
22:29The signboard of Ja and Maho in Katakana is cute, isn't it?
22:35Zoujirushi's Ja and Mahobin.
22:38It's not C, it's G.
22:40It's G.
22:41Mahobin is the smartest and the most skillful to write in Japanese in Katakana.
22:49I'm worried about my family if I keep collecting more.
22:54You're worried about what to do with this place.
22:56Yes.
22:57And what to do with the things.
22:59I'm thinking about moving to a museum in the future.
23:09You're still collecting more.
23:13It's not just B.
23:15If I collect more, I think I'll be able to do more.
23:22It's a collector's soul.
23:24Yes.
23:25I don't know how much I can do.
23:28When I'm at my limit, I'm not a collector anymore.
23:34You're going beyond being a collector.
23:37That's right.
23:43Let's believe that we can do it and keep going.
23:48With this bond that will last forever, the sky will be clear.
23:54It's going to start today.
23:58So we'll be fine.
