Overview
A suspension bridge woven from mountain vine and rebuilt entirely every three years, so the skill can never lapse.
About this place
A kazura-bashi is a primitive suspension bridge made with vines such as hardy kiwi (shirakuchi-kazura). The one in Zentoku, Nishiiya-yama Village, Miyoshi, Tokushima Prefecture, is famous. Two more are hung further inland in Sugo, Higashiiya, in the same city. There is also one made for tourism in Ikeda, Imadate District, Fukui Prefecture, with the cooperation of craftsmen from Higashiiya; all are pedestrian-only bridges.
