倉敷美観地区は柳並木の掘割を中心に、白壁の蔵が静かな水面に映る美しく保存された江戸期の商家街だ。江戸期(1603〜1868)に倉敷は幕府直轄の米の集散地として栄え、富裕な商人が米や物資を蓄えるため白漆喰の壁、黒瓦の屋根、格子窓の独特の蔵を建てた。
今日、多くの蔵が博物館、カフェ、工芸の画廊に転用され、歴史保存と現代文化の利用を滑らかに融合する。日本初の私立西洋美術館(1930年設立)の大原美術館は元の蔵を占め、エルグレコ、モネ、マティス、ピカソを収める。掘割は約600m、石畳、アーチの橋、伝統の木造商家が並ぶ。夕暮れのライトアップ(日没〜22:00)が白壁に金の光を、川舟(500円、20分)が水上から歴史建築の視点を。コンパクトな街が芸術、建築、倉敷の豊かな商業史を結ぶ、ゆっくりの散策に理想的だ。
