広小路 The disorientation in a small broad street

2009年8月撮影。

ほとんどの方にとって冗長で何がいいたいのか分からない映像だと自分でも思います。

小学生のとき、写生に出かけた浜田漁港から戻る際この道筋を通ったのですが、広小路に差し掛かったとき一瞬方向感覚を失ったような不思議な感じを憶えました。あの感覚をう­まく映像に収められないかと挑戦してみたのですが、うまくいきませんでした。もしかしたら未編集の素材を倍速再生した方が意図が伝わるかもしれません。

この広小路は島根県浜田市蛭子町のもので、江戸時代の町割の名残です。宝珠院というお寺の門前が小さな広小路となっています。

広小路では盆前に花市が催されるとのこと。宝珠院は浜田藩二代目藩主・古田重恒の墓所となっています。

ビデオを見直すと、広小路よりむしろその先の三叉路の方が雰囲気を伝えているかもしれません。いずれワイド画面で撮影できないかなと考えています。

映像ではそれぞれ三方向から見た広小路を撮影しています。


This video "Hirokouji The disorientation in a small broad street" was recorded in August, 2009 at Ebisu Town, Hamada City, Shimane Prefecture. "Hirokouji" means broad street in Japanese.

Maybe, almost everyone would feel lengthy and think "I can't understand what you mean".

When I was a schoolboy, I went to Hamada fishing port with my classmates for painting a picture. On way back from fishing port, we went across Route 9 into the alley.

The alley had been narrowing by degrees. We went through two turning point. When we reached at the front of Hojuin-Temple's gate, the turning point appeared and the alley transformed itself broad street suddenly. I felt disoriented for a moment. That broad street was hirokouji.

I tried to experience the trick of eyesight again. and I thought "Was it possible to record that magical feeling in the video picture?". But it was not possible.

Maybe, playing unedited original data of this video by double speed would convey intended nuance just a bit.

This small broad street is the remnant of compartment in Edo Period (1603-1868).

A flower market is thrown before Bon holiday every year. In Hojuin-Temple, there is the grave of Furuta Shigetsune who was the second lord of Hamada domain .

After playing back this video, I have noticed that the opposite three-forked road would represent what I intend better than the small broad street itself.

At some future day, I would like to record this small broad street again into wide-screen.

About this video, I recorded this small broad street from three-way branch.

Thank you for your comments.

Well, I'm not Mr.Ebisu. (^^;

Maybe, Mr.Ebisu wouldn't know this movie.

But I know that you have good memories of Hamada city.

It's heartwarming experience for me.

Please search Youtube by keywords like "hamada station" or "Donchicchi".

I would like to record several new video-movies when I go back to Hamada city.
