ことしの「青森ねぶた祭」で子どもたちが担ぐねぶたの山車のうち、骨組みなどの制作過程を体験する催しが青森市で開かれました。この催しはねぶた制作の難しさや楽しさを子どもたちに学んでもらおうと、市内の小中学校のＰＴＡ連合会が初めて開き、青森市の会場には、地元の小学２年生から中学２年生までのおよそ８０人が集まりました。子どもたちは縦１メートル５０センチ、横１メートル６０センチの３台のねぶたの山車をおよそ１か月かけて作る予定で、初日の２３日はねぶた師の内山龍星さんの指導を受けて制作にあたりました。子どもたちはまず、交差させた２本の針がねに木綿の糸などを巻き付けて固定する基本的な技法を教わって、針がねで骨組みを作っていきました。そして、接着剤を塗った骨組みに和紙を貼り付けるなどひとつひとつの作業を丁寧に進めていきました。 参加した小学校３年生の女の子は、「和紙を一枚ずつはるところが難しかったけど楽しかったです。完成したら自分で担いでみたいです」と話していました。子どもたちは今後４回集まって内山さんと一緒にねぶた絵を描く予定で、完成させた３台の山車をこの夏の「青森ねぶた祭」で運行することにしています。
