The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual situation of the use of smoked hidari-sangawara and munaishi in Matsue City and Izumo City in eastern Shimane Prefecture, where the kawara were produced. For that purpose, report survey, interview survey, and field survey were conducted. In both cities, it is difficult to obtain smoked kawara, and demand for munaishi is low. When replacing the roof with glaze black of migi-sangawara, it is necessary to consider whether to maintain the use of munaishi, which is still in production.
