A hyosoku is a lighting tool: a bowl-shaped vessel with a projection to hold the wick. The collection owned by Gamagori City was assembled over many years by the late Kishima Yoshimatsu, and includes standard, dish and sparrow types, 178 pieces in all. In 1969 it was designated a nationally Important Tangible Folk Cultural Property.
02 ／ Float house
The float house of Mitani-cho Kitaku is a single-storey brick building from 1921 (Taisho 10), with a floor area of 35 square metres. To house a festival float, its opening rises 6 m to the top of the arch, fitted with double doors faced in copper plate. The Agency for Cultural Affairs calls it a rare surviving brick float house. It was registered as a national Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2007.
03 ／ Habitat
Mikawa Oshima is a gourd-shaped island about 4 km off Gamagori, and Aichi Prefecture records a lancelet habitat on its east coast. The lancelet is fish-shaped but not a fish; it is a protochordate. The Agency for Cultural Affairs states that the site marks the northern limit of its range. It was found in 1934 and designated a national Natural Monument in 1941.
