芦屋のサービスアパートメント”ミミロッコ”徒然帳

芦屋には谷崎潤一郎記念館があります。
文豪・谷崎潤一郎が「細雪」を執筆した邸宅・倚松庵を模したそうです。
「細雪」はこれまで3回映画化されています。
私が観たことがあるのは、吉永小百合さん他、豪華女優陣が競演した33年前の作品です。
この「細雪」より前の2作品が公開された頃、昭和25〜45年（1950〜1970年）には、芦屋会館（通称・アシカン）という映画館がありました。
芦屋に住んでいたことのある作家・村上春樹さんが、雑誌に「アシカンで007の3本立てを観た」と書いています。
残念ながら、アシカンはじめ芦屋には映画館がなくなってしまいましたので、“趣味は映画鑑賞”という方がミミロッコに入居されましたら、梅田、三宮、あるいは西宮へ出かけなければなりません。


The autumn season for art is coming soon.
In Ashiya, there is the Memorial Museum of Literature of Junichiro Tanizaki, one of the greatest writers of the age, and which was built after Tanizaki’s residence called “Ishoan” where Tanizaki wrote “Sasameyuki,” one of his masterpieces, when he lived in Ashiya. “Sasameyuki” was made into movie three times. I had watched the one which was released thirty-three years ago. In the movie, in addition to Sayuri Yoshinaga, many other top film stars appeared on the screen. When two older ones were released before the one I watched, there was a movie theater called Ashiya Kaikan (“Ashikan”) during1950-1970.
Haruki Murakami, one of the great writers of this age, who had once lived in Ashiya, said that he watched a triple-featured 007 movie at Ashikan. Unfortunately, the traditional “Ashikan” has gone now, and you have to go to Umeda, Sannomiya, or Nishinomiya if you would like to watch a movie as there is no movie theater in Ashiya.
