Description
| With the change of the Japanese era from "Heisei" to "2021" and the Olympic Games just a year away, the Tokyo landscape is undergoing drastic changes due to large-scale redevelopment. One person has been documenting the storehouses that remain in a corner of the city. In addition to his main job, he calls himself a "kuraminist" and has been visiting and documenting the remaining warehouses in the center of Tokyo for more than a decade. This book is a guidebook for a "kura-meguri stroll" that introduces the kura he has visited with photographs. The author has discovered more than 100 warehouses in Tokyo* within the Yamanote Line area. The search method is unique and rational. First, you use Google Maps' Street View to identify the buildings that you think are interesting. A map published in 1945 [帝都近傍圖] is helpful in this process. The warehouses are concentrated in areas that escaped the damage of World War II, and the [帝都近傍傍圖] map records the damage caused by the Tokyo air raids. The means of transportation is bicycle. The area is not easy to get around by car and is often missed, but the area is too small to visit on foot. This method has been used to visit many valuable warehouses. There are three main types of kura: the traditional wooden* plaster-walled type, the Western-influenced brick* stone type, and the reinforced concrete type, which has been on the rise since the Great Kanto Earthquake. Although valuable from an architectural and cultural standpoint, only a few of them have been designated as cultural assets or otherwise designated for preservation, and they are disappearing rapidly in Tokyo due to demolition and redevelopment due to aging. [Kura tours are not only a casual strolling theme, but also a record of a lifestyle and culture that is being lost. In recent years, many warehouses have been renovated and converted into residences, cafes and other restaurants, stores, galleries, and other uses. The author herself lived in a house renovated from a storehouse about 20 years ago, which she says triggered her interest in storehouses. Storehouses used as stores and galleries are easy for the general public to visit, so we will conduct interviews and provide detailed information on these warehouses.

著者がこれまでに発見した都内・山手線圏内に残る蔵の数は100軒を超えています。その探し方はユニークかつ合理的。まず、Googleマップのストリートビューでこれはと思う建物に目星をつけておく。その際に参考になるのが、1945（昭和20）年に発行された地図「帝都近傍圖」。蔵は第二次大戦の戦災を逃れたエリアに集中していて、「帝都近傍圖」には東京大空襲の被害状況が記録されています。移動手段は自転車。クルマでは小回りが利かず見逃してしまうことが多く、といって徒歩では回れる範囲が狭い。この方法で数々の貴重な蔵をモノにしてきました。
蔵には大きく3タイプあり、伝統的な木造・漆喰壁のタイプと西洋の影響を受けたレンガ造り・石造りのタイプ、関東大震災以降は鉄筋コンクリート製のものが増えています。建築文化的に貴重でも、文化財指定など保存の対象になっているものはごく一部で、老朽化による取り壊しや再開発などで都内の蔵はどんどん姿を消しています。「蔵めぐり」は気軽な散歩テーマであると同時に、失われつつある生活文化の記録でもあるのです。
近年は、蔵をリノベーションして住宅やカフェなどの飲食店、店舗、ギャラリー等に転用しているケースも多く見られます。著者自身が約20年前に蔵を改装した家に住むことになり、それが蔵に興味を持つきっかけになったと言います。店舗やギャラリーとして活用されている蔵は、一般の方も気軽に訪ねやすいので、取材を行って詳細な情報を掲載します。
