飯山市にある高橋人形館は行った事がありますか?北信の割りと新しい観光スポットです。去年の5月に亀清の若女将と若若女将と初めて行きましたが、高橋さんの作る人形は「あんな顔な人がいるよ!」と田舎を思い出す。

私は日本の田舎がないのに、私も見て笑います。

その人形館にキルトを作る私の母にも見せたかったので、連れて行ってきました。想像した通り、母も大喜びでした。

またもう一つな親孝行の夢は実現が出来ました。

注:高橋まゆみ人形館の2012春コレクション展示は3月29日(木)~9月25日(火)の予定です。その間のイベントは
4月14日(土)14:00~ おはなしの会
8月5日(日)13:00~ 親子粘土創作教室

Have you ever been to the Mayumi Takahashi Doll Museum in Iiyama City? It is one of Northern Nagano's newest tourist destinations. I went there last May with Kamesei's proprietress and our daughter. Takahashi-san's dolls are priceless with their facial expressions and depiction of life in the Japanese countryside.

Even though I grew up in America and have no intrinsic nostalgia for Japan's rural life, I still find the dolls entertaining.

And with my parents here visiting from Seattle, I really wanted to take my Mom to see the dolls, too. So we hopped in the car with the kids and went for a drive to see the museum. Mom loved it!

Another 'filial piety' success.

NOTE: The museum's 2012 Spring Collection will start on March 29th and run through Sept. 25th. During that time, there will be 2 special events:
*April 14th: "Talk Time" with Takahashi-san (2pm)
*August 5th: Parent-Child clay play workshop. (1pm)
