先日は会議で松本に行った際、中町を通りました。ちょうど対応が沈んだ後で、それぞれのお店の中から柔らかい光が道の方から見えてきていました。漆屋さん、民芸品屋さん、洋服のブティック、独特な飲食店、等など。
私はいつも会議のついでにとかで中町や縄手通りとかを通るだけだけど、今度は若女将とゆっくりぶらぶらしたい。
The other day I was in Matsumoto for a meeting, and walked down Nakamachi street. It was just dusk, and the lights from the various shops was softly drifting out to the street. The lacquer-ware shop, traditional crafts shop, clothing boutiques, tempting restaurants -- it was such an enticing vibe.
It seems like I'm always just passing through Nakamachi and Matsumoto's other classic shopping street, Nawate-dori, on the way to or from some meeting. One of these days I'm going to have to come with Kamesei's proprietress for a more leisurely stroll.
