北仙台と堤町 around Kita-Sendai

7月中旬のとある日の夕方、
ふと思い立って、子どもの頃祖父母の家のあった北仙台界隈に出かけてみた。

One evening in July, I went to Kita-Sendai area.

北仙台駅から少し歩くと、
堤焼、堤人形...かつては焼き物の町として名の知れていたという、堤町。
おじいちゃん家の地面にも、こんな感じであっちこっちに陶器の破片が埋まってたっけ。
もうそこには他の誰かの新しい家が建っていたけれど。

Walking for few minutes from Kita-Sendai Station...
there's an area called Tsutsumimachi, the place known as the town of pottery in the past.
Also my grandparents lived there before.
In my grandpa's house, which do not exist anymore, I could also see broken pieces of the potteries buried in the ground like this.

北仙台駅→堤町と周って、再び北仙台駅に戻ってきました。
昔とはずいぶん変わった北仙台駅周辺。
外見だけは昔とほとんど変わっていなかった堤町。

I came back to the Station from old Tsutsumimachi.
It changed a lot around Kita-Sendai Station, developing area.
Tsutsumimachi haven't changed so much, but my relatives were all gone.

時間の流れを感じさせる壮大な散歩でした。

I felt the passage of time.
