備前福岡(Bizen Fukuoka)

中世山陽道随一の商都と言われ、国宝『一遍上人絵伝』に描かれた「福岡の市」場面は有名です。往時を偲ぶ町のつくりが残っています。
This is said to be the largest mercantile city along the medieval Sanyo road, and the “Market of Fukuoka” scene depicted in the national treasure “Ippen Shonin Eden” (Illustrated Biography of Monk Ippen) is famous. There remains a city structure which reflects what this city looked like in the past.
