「そういえば、ここは見学したことなかった。」の一言で、松浦資料館へ行くことになる。

学生時代のゼミ旅行以来、何度か訪問できるチャンスはあったものの、ずっと見学できなかったので、「やっと行ける。」とかなり期待して見学させてもらう。

見終わった感想は「もっと早く訪問すればよかった。」であった。

その理由1:真夏の昼下がりに訪問したのだが、高台にある資料館からの港~対岸の景色がすごくよく(当日は素晴らしい晴天であった)、松浦の殿様が見ていたかもしれない海と山の色をしっかり感じることができた。

その理由2:資料館とは言うものの、公共の博文館ではなく、松浦の殿様のお屋敷だったところを一般公開して宝物を見せてもらっているというスタンスのためか、殆どの資料がレプリカではなく江戸時代に使われていたものそのものであった。本物かレプリカかというのは、本物を見る目のない私にとっては、その違いは大してないのだろうけど、本物の資料がずらずらっと並んでいるというのは、それだけでなかなか見ごたえがあった。

そういえば、はるか昔のこと、教養課程(今はなんというのだろう)の国文学の講義では「江戸時代までに作られた書籍を博物館などで見せてもらって、写真を撮ったりスケッチをさせてもらったりしてくる。」という夏休みの課題が出たのだが、ここに来れば本物があれこれ見放題であった。

その理由3:(「もっと早く・・・」と感じた1番の理由)なにしろ、江戸時代の松浦の殿様のお屋敷を、改修や改築はしてあるものの基本的にそのまま資料館にしてるのことから、また、展示資料はほとんどが本物であることから、館内がかなり薄暗い。意図的に照明は落としてあるようであるし、雨戸を開けて日光を取り入れることなど、貴重な資料が傷んでしまって大変なことになるから当然のことである。

薄暗い展示室で困ってしまったのは「資料につけられた説明がなかなか読めない」という、きっと20代で訪問していれば全く感じなかったと思われる不便さである。とにかく、眼鏡を上下にずらして焦点を調整しないと細かい文字が読めない。最初の展示あたりは、なんとか頑張って読もうと努力したが、そのうちに「まあ、細かいことはいいか。」とざっくり展示物を眺めて、ちょっと興味を引いた資料だけは説明を読ませてもらった。

しみじみ「もっと早く訪問すれ...

南蛮貿易黎明期の拠点となった平戸。 その恩恵を大いに受けて、天皇家との血縁関係までもった松浦藩の財力を連想させる宝物や絵画が数多く展示されている。レプリカではなく、本物の展示が多いのが素晴らしい。離れにある、茶室「閑雲亭」では、カステラの原形のようで似て非なるカスドーラと抹茶をいただくことができる。平戸港を一望できる丘の上にあるが、地方の博物館としては非常に見応えのある博物館になっている。 隠れキリシタン関係の資料も展示もたくさんあるが、おどろおどろしい気持ちにさせる。

Hirado was the center of the Nanban trade at its dawn. The exhibition features many treasures and paintings that remind us of the wealth of the Matsuura clan, which benefited greatly from the trade and was even related to the emperor. It is wonderful that many of the exhibits are not replicas, but the real thing. In the tea ceremony room "Kannun-tei," located in a separate building, you can have a cup of powdered green tea and a cascade of sponge cakes, which are similar but not the same as the original type of sponge cakes. Located on a hilltop overlooking the port of Hirado, the museum is very worth seeing for a regional museum. There are many exhibits and materials related to hidden Christians, but they make you...

Hirado in Nagasaki is an amazing place with a really interesting history. Find out more about the Matsura Clan, who ruled over the Hirado region. There's even a tea house where you can enjoy a samurai style tea ceremony and traditional Hirado sweets.
