いっぽう（2）「蔵」は、その保存の必要性の高さから解体することなく移築か移動を検討しました。熟慮の上「難しいだろう」と言われた家曳き工事に挑戦することとなりました。古く傷みの激しい蔵を持ち上げ、長いレールの上に載せて移動をするという、難作業は2020年6月から7月末までの2か月を要しました。この様子は地元の放送局が次々と伝え大きな反響を呼びました。
Tear down and Drag(move as is, without disassembly)
We tore down former Toyoshima clinic in 2020. On the other hands, we considered about Kura to be reconstruct or moved because it was worth to be preserved. After careful consideration, we decided to drag Kura though it was said to be hard to carry on. It was very difficult work to take 2months from June 2020 to lift old damaged Kura and put it on the long rail, then move slowly. That work was featured in some local TV programs and called for a big reaction.
曳家工事の着工に先立ち、大量の収蔵物のある蔵の中を搬出します。すると現れたのは大正時代の建築当時の姿ではなく、昭和38年に収蔵館として使うために、日本民藝運動の意匠で改装された美しく貴重なものでした。
We carried out numerous collections before the relocation. We found out Kura was not on the same condition as when it was built in Taisho period, but it was renovated beautifully with Mingei movement style to be used for an exhibition facility in 1963.
At the same time, they changed lattice to aluminum frame window around the entrance hall of merchant house to display collections.
