    5年ぶりの訪問でした。今回は病に侵された智恵子の紙絵をゆっくり鑑賞、素朴でイノセントな紙絵はどこか儚く、言葉を失った智恵子の想いを伝えているような気がしました。

    Fukushima Fukushima-shi Iriecho 1-1

    母校の校歌も古関裕而氏の作だったことを思い出し立ち寄りました。校歌、歌謡曲、軍歌やスポーツ関係の曲の数々の他、NHKラジオの「ひるのいこい」のテーマ曲なども古関氏の曲と知り、その幅広さに驚きます。館内の撮影はできませんが、曲と映像も楽しめる施設となっています。

As the curator of this private collection is an aficionado of classic guns there is particular consideration given to classic firearms.

    七日町通り沿いにあります。一階が骨董屋というかお土産屋さんで2階が記念館です。記念館というよりも個人のコレクションを展示したような場所でしたが、結構内容は充実していて特に銃器はなかなか種類豊富に展示されていました。

    Fukushima Kawanuma-gun Aizubangemachi Funasugi 554
    "This memorial museum honors the great achievements of Hachiro Kasuga, an honorary resident of Aizu-Bange Town. Stage costumes, sheet music and photographs of the singer, who represented the music industry in the Showa period (1926-1989), are on display. His favorite piano, make-up tools and records recall his appearance in those days. In the rest area, Kasuga's enka (traditional Japanese ballads) can be sung for free. The lone cedar tree that stands out on the site is the one that he sung about in his hit song ""Wakare no Ipponsugi"" (Farewell One Cedar). This song is played from the adjacent monument when a sensor is activated."
