The storehouse (kura) of the Kawashima clothing store that I introduced last time was for storage purposes.
Although the same word "kura(蔵)" is used for storehouses, "misekura(見世蔵)" from the Edo period onwards descries stores and residences that are not intended for storage. The first floor has tataki (a dirt floor finished with earth or concrete) and tatami mats, and the second floor has tatami mats.
The Japanese word "mise" comes from the word "misedana(見世棚)" where products are displayed. From the end of the Kamakura period, the act of "showing" products on a raised platform came to be called "mise(見世)", and in the Muromachi period, the character for "mise(店)" began to be used.
Across the road from Kawashima Clothing Store is Kawashima bookstore misekura (estimated to have been built between 1830 and 1867). I 'd also like to introduce the Hina dolls at Kawashima bookstore misekura.
The former Makabe Post Office was built in 1927 (Showa 2) as the Makabe Branch of the Kokuritsu Daigoju Bank (current Joyo Bank), and from 1956 to 1986, it was the Makabe Post Office. It was a landmark of Makabe-machi before and after the war. Currently, it is a facility of Sakuragawa City and serves as an information center for walking around the town. There were also Hina dolls here.
① This is Kawashima Bookstore Misekura (built in late Edo period).
② I am in Kawashima Bookstore Misekura.
③ These are dolls at Kawashima Bookstore Misekura. The folding screen depicting the Thirty-six Immortals of Poetry in the background is from the Edo period.
④These are Oshie Hina dolls. Oshie is a technique in which cardboard is cut in a shape such as a person, cotton is placed on the cardboard, wrapped in cloth, and pasted together. This technique is also used for Hagoita, or battledores.
⑤These dolls in the back row were made in the Showa period, and the others were made in the Edo period.
⑥This is the former Makabe Post Office. It is not a stone building, but a wooden building finished with cement-wash and stone joints.
⑦I am at the former Makabe Post Office. This is the counter of the post office.
⑧ I'm looking at the Hina dolls through the window. Wow! They're bigger than me.
⑨ I'm looking at the Tsurushi-bina (hanging Hina dolls) and the couple-bina of the Iwama's near the old post office.
