岐阜県多治見市 第74回「たじみ陶器まつり」記録写真

コロナ禍で中止を余儀なくされてから、およそ一年ぶりの開催となった第74回目の「たじみ陶器まつり」。
例年とは異なり、コロナ対策のために複数の会場に分散した形でより規模を大きくして帰ってきた。

The 74th Tajimi Pottery Festival was held for the first time in almost a year after it was forced to be cancelled due to the COVID-19.
Unlike previous years, the event returned on a larger scale, spread out over several venues to counter the COVID-19.

会場では駅前広場や市役所、昔ながらの商店街にまでお店が立ち昇り、どの会場もマスクをつけた人たちで賑わっていた。

At the venues, stores rose up in the plaza in front of the station, the city hall, and even the old-fashioned shopping streets, and every venue was crowded with people wearing masks.

子供からお年寄りまでみんなが夢中で器を眺める光景は、ここでしか見られないだろう。
地域に力強く根を張り焼き物を届ける地元の方々の姿に私は勇気をもらった。

The sight of everyone from children to the elderly engrossed in looking at the pottery could only be seen here.
I was encouraged by the local people who are strongly rooted in the community and deliver their pottery.

焼き物産業のような古くから続く商いは、コロナという逆境の中でも形を変えながら続いていく。

I believe that a business that has been around for a long time, such as the pottery industry, is indispensable in any era.
