漆部神社

This ancient shrine is dedicated to Urushibu no Mikoto, the kami of lacquerware and the patron deity of craftsmen who work with urushi (Japanese lacquer). Established to honor the lacquer-making traditions that flourished in this region of Gifu, the shrine draws artisans, craftspeople, and those seeking blessings for skilled handiwork and artistic endeavors. Visitors come to pray for success in traditional crafts, the preservation of cultural techniques, and the development of artistic skills passed down through generations.
