    堀辰雄文学館に張られていたフランス人浮世絵師ポール・ジャクレーのポスターを観て展示会場の郷土館に出かけた。1階が追分にまつわるもので復元された茶屋と鎧や日用品などが展示されていた。絵の会場は2階でジャクレーは3歳の時来日し1960年64歳の時軽井沢で亡くなったという。木版画21点とスケッチや写真などの展示で版画というジャンルのためかとてもフランス人の作品とは思えない展覧会だった。

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
