道の駅おがち/ Michi-no-Eki Ogachi
March 21th. 2017
It was raining.

小野小町の出身地といわれる秋田県湯沢市小野にある＜道の駅おがち＞です。
屋根の形は平安時代の市女笠を模しています。

This architecture is Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) Ogachi,
 in OnoYuzawas City, Akita Prefecture, Japan.
According one theory, it is said that Ono-no-Komachi,
who was one of the greatest Waka/ Tanka poetsin Heian Period, 
 was born there.

The shape of the roof is modeled after
Ichimegasa in Heian Period(794-1192 A.D.),

which is the straw hat worn by women.
