Takatsuki is located almost in the middle of Kyoto and Osaka, and it was a castle city of the medium daimyo lord, Nagai clan. The museum was built
in the ruined Takatsuki castle. The exhibition room is divided into five areas - - (1) Takatsuki castle and samurai, (2) Lives in the castle city, (3) Saigoku-kaido(highway)
and Akutagawa-shuku(post town), (4) Yodo River and water
transportation, and (5) Local industry. The history since the Edo period (1603—1868) is exhibited very well.
My favorite is the portable sake(alcohol) utensils of Mr. Fujii who was a chic cultural person. Those utensils have distinctive taste. We also find fun of
ordinary people easily here.
京都と大阪のほぼ中間に位置する高槻市は、永井氏３万六千万石の城下町であった。旧城内にある博物館は、高槻城と人、城下の暮らし、西国街道と芥川宿、淀川と舟運、人々の生業と営みの５つのコーナーがあり、江戸時代以降の歴史が丁寧に展示されている。
逸品は、藤井竹外の酒器。文化人のセンスの良さを感じる味わいのあるものだ。その他、庶民の楽しみも諸所に発見できる。 |
Takatuski castle is introduced in this area. Model of the castle
and actual building stones are exhibited. 高槻城を紹介するコーナー、模型や実物の石材などが展示されている。

Christian daimyo, Ukon Takayama is
introduced here. He was deported when he was sixty-two because Christianity was
prohibited back then. He went to Manila and died there.
キリシタン大名・高山右近のコーナー。６２歳の時に追放され、マニラに行き、亡くなっている。

Lives in the castle city、城下の暮らし
 |
Picnic and festival, which are very good
entertainment for people, took root in the Edo period. People were permitted to
enter the castle for the Bon dance in July, because there were no parks
back then. They delighted definitely.
江戸時代には、四季折々を楽しむ花見などの「遊山」や祭礼が定着した。７月の盆踊りでは町民も城内に入ることが許されたという。城下には広場がなかったというので、みんな嬉しかったろう。

People enjoyed harvesting Matsutake
mushrooms which Japanese like so much. 松茸狩りの様子。いやあ、賑やかだ。

”Chu Shougi” board game which used 46
pieces for each side (we use only 20 pieces now). Well-used pieces were found
under the ruined samurai house.
中将棋という駒を４６枚ずつ使う将棋（今の将棋は２０枚づつ）。武家屋敷跡から、使い込まれた駒が見つかったそうだ。

Chikugai Fuji’s favorites; he was the poet of
Chinese poem who was born around 200 years ago. I love the shell shaped sake cup made
of wood.

Samurai of Takatsuki-han used a protable
pen set (right) and a portable brazier (left). The brazier was used at the
night duty in the castle. I wonder if there was a proper warmer in the castle.
高槻藩士が宿直の時に使ったという携帯の火鉢。しっかりした火鉢がなかったのか、火鉢を携帯するというのが面白い。そして筆記用具の矢立。

Saigoku-kaido(highway) and Akutagawa-shuku(post town)、西国街道と芥川宿
 |
Akutagawa-shuku was a post town in
Takatsuki which was on the Saigoku-kaido. Travelers to Ise or Konpira walked
the road.
高槻にあった宿場町、芥川宿。京と神戸を直接結ぶ西国街道上にあった。伊勢や金比羅へのお参りの人々も行き交った。
|
 |
Travel diary to Konpira (1841): Ms.
Igarashi went to Konpira Shrine which is 250 km away. She enjoyed sightseeing
on the way.
金比羅詣の旅日記（1841）。五十嵐とよさんが、250ｋｍ離れた金比羅に詣でた時の日記。寄り道しながら物見遊山を楽しんだようだ。

Travel record to Ise; people established Kou
groups and dispatched the delegate to Ise Shrine every year. They had a
party when the delegate left and the menu was exhibited.
伊勢詣の記録。講を作って資金を出し合い、毎年代参者を伊勢神宮に送り出した。出発の時に、宴会を開いたが、そのメニューが記載されている。

The menu of the party (1852); there were
many kinds of dishes. The main dish seemed to be a grilled tai fish.
宴会の献立（1852年）；種類が多い。鯛の焼き物がメインディッシュのようだ。

Traffic by Yodo River、淀川と舟運
 |
Model of Sanjukoku-bune(ship) which linked
Kyoto and Osaka; twenty-eight travelers got on this ship (length:15 m, width:2
m), so the area per person was less than 1 square meter. It was too narrow for a six-hour trip (Kyoto to Osaka) and a twelve-hour trip (Osaka to Kyoto). If a
passenger paid more, he could keep a space for two people.
京都大阪間を行き来した三十石船のモデル。乗客定員28人なのに、長さ15m（注：17ｍとする資料が多いです）、幅2mというから一人平均で1㎡弱。これは狭い。お金を払えば、二人分のスペースをくれたそうだ。

These
dishes of Kurawanka-bune, which served food and drinks to Sanjyukoku-bune, were
found at the bottom of Yodo River. It is written that meal charges were decided
by the number of plates, so some travelers threw them away to the river.
Reference：Hirakata-shukuKagiya Museum which is opposite side of Yodo River.
淀川の底から見つかったくらかんか舟の茶碗。くらわんか舟は三十石舟に飲食物を売る小舟だ。茶碗の数で支払いをしていたため、茶碗を川に投げるものもいたとか。くらわんか舟の発祥は、高槻側・柱本とのことだ。

century in Takatsuki. 江戸後期から明治末期にかけて、古曽部で焼かれた古曽部焼。茶碗が多いようだ。

Sake, which was brewed in Tonda, was
popular, so palindrome of Tonda sake was made. Those are the returnable bottles to
bring back sake to houses.
富田（とんだ）の酒。評判の酒だったようで、「けさたんと のめやあやめの とんたさけ」という回文が残されている。小売りに使われた徳利。造り酒屋が貸し出す「通い徳利」。

This folding screen is named “Four seasons
of the rice farming”. I think the famer themed screen is rare. Village head
probably owned this.
「四季耕作図屏風」という稲作の一年間を書いた屏風。農家が主人公の屏風とは珍しい。庄屋の家に置いたのか。ホールに展示されていた。
