    建築家安藤忠雄氏設計の美術館です。玄関が奇抜で異空間に入る感がありとても良いです。 児島虎次郎の古代エジプト蒐集記とモネの池の蓮の花を見ました。日曜日で小学生がクイズ企画？で館内が賑やかでした。

    Okayama Pref. Takahashishi Nariwachoufukiya
    "A 40-minute drive from the Niimi Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway. A museum operating out of a renovated Meiji period ferric oxide (known by the Dutch-derived term ""bengara"" in Japanese) factory in Fukiya Furusato Village. Fukiya Furusato Village was designated a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in 1977 and it was ferric oxide production which created the village's foundation. The museum presents how the factory made ferric oxide, which was developed as a red pigment. The elegant museum building's walls are painted with ferric oxide paint; inside visitors can get a taste of the village's heyday when ferric oxide production was at its height and experience the quiet passage of time through the surrounding old townscape."

    ベンガラを精製しているいわば工場群といったところです。とは言え当時のこと随分と人力が必要のようです。駐車場も広いので行き易いと思います。

    常時６万冊が揃えてあり、１階の漫画読書室では、いつでも読めるようになっています。２階のごろごろ読書室では寝転がって読めますが、うっかり寝込んでしまう人もいるそうです。名誉館長が富永一朗さんです。30数年前、東京でお目にかかったことがあります。人のいいおじさん、という感じを受けました。入館料は400円。旅の途中でじっくりとマンガを読むというわけにはいきませんが、富永一朗さんの原画が常時展示されていま...

    Okayama Takahashi-shi Nariwacho Fukiya 699
    This facility is about a 40-minute drive from Nimi Interchange off the Chugoku Expressway. The town of Fukiya flourished in the Edo period as a center for mining copper and red ochre iron oxide pigment. The rare and valuable townscape retains Edo atmosphere, with several kilometers of buildings, including the mine and production facilities, preserved as they were. The Furusato Village includes the Old Katayama House, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, as well as the Kyodokan; the elegant Hirokane Residence, used as a filming location for the movie Village of Eight Gravestones; and other worthwhile sights. You can also try activities like pottery and glazing, red ochre dyeing, and more.

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
