    Living in Paris, I go quite often to Orsay or marmottan museums. The 40 paintings exposed (monet, pissaro, van dongen, Chagall,... ) are very fine. There are very well representating the period...

    山寺ミュージアムめぐり共通チケットを利用しました。 出入口の近くに、イエスが小屋で生まれた絵画があります。博士達が天使に導かれて訪ねてくるのですが、その愛くるしい天使に引き込まれました。額縁も見入ってしまい、最後にもう一度見たい作品となりました。 モデスト・カルリエの花といちごのある静物、花は儚い人生を表すとともに果実をもたらすことから、キリスト教では望徳(後世において終わりなき幸福を得られ...

    山形の銘酒「出羽桜」の蔵元が個人収集した李朝陶磁器を中心とした個人美術館です。展示の中心は李朝の陶磁器ですが、見学した時は新収蔵の「北斎漫画」、夢二の画、茂吉の短冊等が展示されていました。建物自体が蔵元の旧家で座敷の違い棚や天井の高さ、趣のある庭、蔵座敷も興味あるものでした。手作りの吊飾りも素敵でした。場所は出羽桜酒造工場に向かって右側の住宅です。道路反対側に駐車場があります。吟醸香が漂うのも酒蔵...

The kominka (old house) where Hasegawa lived, and his Japanese garden, are also open to the public.

    入場料500円ですが、お庭と建物に往時が偲ばれます。お茶や飴があったり、まったり座れる座敷があったり、ピアノが弾けたり、心が和みます。すごいコレクション!なのかどうかは分かりませんが、いい所です。

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
