This is Japan’s oldest remaining Western-style blast furnace, created for
temporary use by Oshima Takato. At
the time it was 7.0m tall. Presently there
are 5 layers of granite blocks with dimensions of 5.4m and a height of 2.8mthat remain on top of the 2 layer granite
base.

No. 2 Blast FurnaceF© Mercis bv

This is Japan’s oldest remaining western-style blast
furnace, created based on documents from Holland
by Oshima Takato, a member of the Morioka Domain. It was made using traditional techniques, andsucceeded at producing iron. This iron differed fromthe Japanese tatara iron, and continuous operationsof the furnace were possible. As well as production
facilities, such as the remains of iron ore mines,
transport routes, and blast furnace remains, there
are also traces of offices and mountain shrines. The
site therefore reveals the overall process - from production through to sales - as well as the individuals
involved.

E

Oshima Takato was born in Morioka as the eldest son of aphysician to the Morioka Domain. In 1842, at the age of 17,
he traveled to Edo to study Western medicine. He also studied in Nagasaki where he became interested in Western military science and gunnery, mining, and smelting. Together
with Tezuka Ritsuzo of the Choshu Domain, he translated abook on the construction of reverberating furnaces by Major
General Ulrich Huguenin. He was then invited to construct
a reverberating furnace by the Mito Domain in Nakaminato,
and was also involved in producing artillery cannons. Oshima then took this experience back to the Morioka Domain,establishing a Western-style blast furnace at Ohashi, Kasshi-mura (now Ohashi, Kasshi-cho, Kamaishi City) in 1857. On
December 1, 1858 (old calendar) he succeeded at smelting
iron ore using a taphole furnace for the first time in Japan.

Japan industrialized rapidly between the second-half of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century, forming
the basis for an industrial nation. There are 23 heritage sites located in 8 prefectures and 11 cities throughout Japan, that act as records of this industrialization.
