Kanazawa Ono Karakuri Museum/ISHIKAWA
Kanazawa Ono Karakuri Museum is where I really wanted to visit.
It has famous wind-up dolls that serve tea.
I got so excited to see so many cog wheels... I love cog wheels ( or gears ).
I like their shapes and also like how they actually work.
The museum has hands-on activities and you can touch and turn the wheels.
Square shaped wheel- Left wheel and right wheel turn at different speeds.
Used mostly for printers.
Chrysanthemum shaped
Leaf shaped
Look ! So many wheels in different shapes!
Inside the main building. Beautiful design that reminds us of Tsuzumi (hand drum)
There was a similar one in front of the Kanazawa station.
Geometrical pattens of the windows at the museum. They look gorgeous.
