    風待ち室津港で栄えた豪商の家のつくりを感じさせてくれました。民俗館と共通券で300円で入れました。豪商の館らしく隠し階段がその歴史の側面を物語っていました。

    参覲交代や朝鮮通信使など、当時の資料が詳しく、建物の雰囲気も良くて、時間を忘れてしまうくらい。立派な欄間が展示してあって、シダかなと思ってたら、藤だと教えてもらいました。斬新なデザイン!

    最盛期には六軒もの本陣があったという室津の歴史を「回船」や「参勤交代」などのテーマで展示している資料館だ。室津の町の中ほどにあり、江戸期の豪商の商家を活用した建物。伝統的な焼板の外壁と土蔵のような白壁がトレードマークだ。<海の宿場町>という珍しい概念のほか、ユネスコの世界記憶遺産に登録された朝鮮通信使関連の資料が目を引く。瀬戸内沿いには通信使や参勤交代にゆかりの港が点在しているが、それぞれに個性...
