神奈川県埋蔵文化財センター（横浜市南区）が発掘した江戸期の日用品を通して人々の生活を振り返る遺跡展「地中に埋もれた江戸時代の道具たち」が１月１１日から、神奈川県立歴史博物館（横浜市中区）で開かれる。

 

１月１０日には関係者を招いた内覧会が開かれ、来館者は当時の生活の豊かさに触れた。

 

遺跡展では、江戸初期から幕末にかけて（１７世紀初頭～１９世紀後半）の約２７０年間に作られた道具類を紹介。

 

武家屋敷や商家、農村などから出土した陶磁器、金属製品、木製品、浮世絵など５０７点を展示する。

 

たとえば食器は、江戸初期には地味で小ぶりだったが、庶民文化が進展した元禄を過ぎると、鮮やかな青を使った大皿が好まれるようになったという。

 

埋蔵文化財センターの冨永樹之副主幹は「茶を一つとっても、煎茶を飲むようになったのは江戸後期に確立した文化。器の変化を追うことで、現代との結びつきを考える契機になると思う」と話している。
