金沢散策 １ (Strolling in Kanazawa -1-)

　石引町小同級会の翌々日、午前中に金沢の町を少し散策した。まず、「城下まち金沢周遊バス」を「ひがし茶屋街」で下車して、浅野川大橋を渡り、浅野川左岸沿いの道を下流側へ進む。堤防沿いには、大きな樹木が並び（1枚目の写真）、道の反対側には、和風の構えの飲み屋が並ぶ。主計町（かずえまち）というところである。作家の泉鏡花 (1873–1939) を記念した「鏡花のみち」というのは、浅野川大橋から二つ上流の天神橋の間だけをいうのかと思っていたが、主計町にも「鏡花のみち」の看板があった（2枚目の写真）。（つづく）

Two days after the reunion of the elementary school, I had a little of strolling in Kanazawa, in the morning. First, I got off the Kanazawa loop bus at Higashichaya-machi, crossed Asano-ōhashi Bridge, and walked the path along the left bank in the downstream direction of Asano River. Along the dyke, big trees stood (the upper photo); and on the other side of the road, bars of the Japanese-style building. The street name there is Kazue-machi. I supposed "Kyoka no michi (Kyoka's Street)" to commemorate the writer Kyoka Izumi (1873–1939) was between Asano-ōhashi Bridge and Tenjin Bridge (the second bridge from the former in the upstream direction) only. However, I found the sign board of "Kyoka no michi Street" even in Kazue-machi (the lower photo). (To be continued)
