A lot of people really came to the Autumn Market and it was crowded with many people.

They also sold very tasty sausages and cheeses. They smelled really good, and I knew that they were home made by the smell!! Amazing!

Runestone monument at Skansen. I'd like to write about this runestone later.

Autumn Market at Skansen

I happened to attend the Autumn Market in Skansen.　Please also check out our previous blog.

Autum Market at Skansen

I happened to be visiting Skansen when the Autumn Market was being held, and we decided to go and check it out.　We had a delicious muffin there, and there were many other events besides the small market.

In Japan, autumn festivals are held, and it seems that similar festivals are also held in Sweden, so I was very interested to see what they are like.

One of the most interesting games we saw was a game in which children threw a ball at a plate on a shelf and if the ball broke the plate, they would receive a product.　It reminded me of the summer festival I went to when I was a child.

This is a similar game I played in a summer festival when I was a child in Osaka, Japan. (Isn't is kinda similar to the one in Stockholm?!)

Another interesting event was the opportunity to dress up in old Swedish clothing and have your picture taken with a beautiful painting in the background.　The Swedish farmer's clothes that might be seen in Astrid Lindgren's works. It was very cute and many tourists (including me, of course! LOL!), especially from overseas, were taking pictures.

The market was full of sausages, cheeses, and other products made in the old fashioned way.

Skansen is a favorite place of rest and relaxation for Stockholm citizens.　It was truly wonderful to find a place where one can experience such an old-fashioned lifestyle just a 15-minute tram ride away from Stockholm City.　I wish such a place existed in Japan.

スカンセンの秋まつり

スカンセンで開催されていた、Autumn Market （秋の市場）に偶然参加することになりました。　先のブログもあわせてみてくださいね。😉👏

Autum Market at Skansen

たまたまスカンセンに遊びに行った時にAutumn Marketを開催していたのですが、せっかくだし行ってみて様子を見てみることにしました。　そこではマフィンを美味しくいただいたのですが、小さな市場以外にもたくさんの催し物をしていました。

日本でも秋祭りが開催されるのですが、スウェーデンでも同様の秋祭りが開催されるようで、とても興味深く色々とみてみました。

みてて面白かったのが、棚に並べたお皿を子供がそのお皿に向けてボールを投げてお皿を割ったら商品がもらえるといったゲームでした。　日本の射的のゲームに似ていて、子供の時に行った夏まつりを思い出しました。

他に面白いなと思ったのが、昔のスウェーデンの服装を着て、きれいな絵画を裏に写真を撮ることが出来る催しです。　１００年から２００年前のスウェーデンの服装はAstrid Lindgrenの作品に出てきそうな素朴な農家の服装です。とてもかわいらしく、たくさんの海外からの観光客を中心に写真を撮影していました。

市場にはソーセージやチーズなど昔の製法で作られたものがたくさん販売されていました。

スカンセンはストックホルム市民に愛されている憩いの場です。　ストックホルム市内から路面電車で１５分程度の場所にこのような昔ながらの生活様式を経験できる場所があるなんて、本当に素晴らしいなとあたらめて感じました。　日本にもこのような場所があったらいいのになと感じました。
