Kashiba City Nijyosan Museum

About

Kashiba City Nijyosan Museum (Kashiba-shi Nijō-san Hakubutsukan) opened in Kashiba, Nara Prefecture, Japan in 1992. Taking its name from the nearby Mount Nijō ("Futakami-yama" in the Man'yōshū), the museum is located on the first floor of the city's Futakami Bunka Center, with its storerooms in the basement floor below. The displays focus on the local sanukite, tuff, and emery sand from the eruption of Mount Nijō and on palaeolithic tools.
