Inariyama 'kura' display at Yashiro Station

千曲市稲荷山地区の「蔵の街」の雰囲気が大好きです。土壁の蔵は何となく時代を感じると言うか時代を超える風情がある。

しかし、その風情をどうやって守っていくのかが問題です。

守るように努力している稲荷山街並み委員会の高村さんから連絡が入りました。15日の12:00頃まで屋代駅の中の市民ギャラリースペースで稲荷山の街並みの写真など展示会を開催している。ぜひ見に行って下さい。

(高村さん、蚕棚の使い方はナイス!)

Chikuma City's Inariyama neighborhood is known as a 'kura' town thanks to all of the classic earthen-walled kura storehouses that remain. The townscape has a timeless feel to it thanks to the kura.

However, preserving the kura is a major issue for our town.

One group that is working hard at that is the Inariyama Townscape Committee. Takamura-san, the chairman, contacted me to let me know he has a display of photographs and artifacts from Inariyama showing at the gallery inside Yashiro Station. The display will be up through Sunday 15-Jan. noon. If you get a chance, please go and see it. Hopefully the display will raise awareness of the need to preserve these kura.
