◎国内外の友人へ一言近況「板倉区針への道中スナップ」：

Yoshy’s Brief Updates to my Friends at Home and Abroad “Snaps on the way to Hari, Itakura Ward”

 

 

12月10日(土)は、LL生徒から欠席通知があり、お休み. そこで、寒い曇天でしたが、健康のため、長距離散歩を決行！－2:00 pmに我が家を、上越市板倉区針在住のK君宅に向かって出発. 1時間の予定が、2時間かかってしまいました. Rには5:00 pmまでに帰宅すると言っておいたので…

 

 

Last Saturday, December 10^th, I received an absence notice from an LL student, so LL School took a day off. ― At 2:00 pm, I left my home and headed for Mr. K's house, who lives in Hari District, Itakura Ward in Joetsu City. I had to return home by 5:00 pm, but …

Here are some photos taken along the way to his house.

👆

Description: “Buaisō (武相荘) is the former home of post-war Japanese bureaucrat Jirō Shirasu and his wife Masako Shirasu, located in Machida, Tokyo, to the west of downtown Tokyo. The name was derived from an amalgamation of kanji for the former provinces of Musashi and Sagami, as its location is near the border between the two provinces.”

武相荘（ぶあいそう）とは、東京都町田市にある白洲次郎・正子夫妻の旧邸宅。 現在は「旧白洲邸・武相荘」として、記念館・資料館となり一般公開されている. 館長は白洲夫妻の長女・牧山桂子. 武相荘の名の由来は、白洲次郎のユーモアから「武蔵の国と相模の国の境に位置する」事と「無愛想」を掛けたもの.
