【The sound of revived drums】 December 1 (Sun) At the Kobe Town residents charity performance, from Nishiokoppe Village I played the Uensiri Drum. He performed one short song of about 6 minutes. From winter to Spring, it represented the scene of Mt. Uensiri waking up from the melting snow. I am very happy to have received warm applause and words of support from many. Because it's a big deal I would like to tell you a little about the history of the revival of Japanese Drums in Nishiokoppe Village. Japanese Drum performances began in Nishiokoppe Village in the 1980s. At that time, the beaters were the Local Youth Group. The powerful sound of the young people enlivened the festivals. The song that was played from that time was "Uensiri Drum". At that time, the song was composed by an elementary school teacher, and it was played until about 2000. After that, from the dissolution of the youth group, etc. The Drums, who were no longer beating, slept for a long time without being played. On the way, I Restrooms available a Period where volunteer Japanese Drum circles are active, but it became difficult to Kiss invite lecturers due to the corona vortex, and the sound of Drum stopped completely. The movement took place in August of this year. "When the performing arts are revived, let's revive the drums as well." Former drummers and Village people who excelled in music analysis joined forces to learn the Uensiri Drum. Although it was a group of amateurs, it was made up of seven enthusiastic people. The Uensiri Drum roared again. After that, several Village residents who heard the performance at the performance party joined the group and continue their activities to this day. I had a and connection with him, and I was able to have the opportunity to perform at the Kobe Town residents' charity performance. Although it is a group that has only been formed for a short time, we are approached from inside and outside the Village in this way, and we put a lot of effort into practice. It's been a bit long. I think it takes a lot of energy to start something that has been interrupted and continue to do so. I would be happy if the members continued to enjoy their activities and conveyed this to the listeners. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Drum #Uensiri Drum #Kobe Towns #Town residents charity performance #December 1 #Youth Dan #Japanese Drum #I am a photographer

The practice of swordsmanship was intended above all to nurture the mind. The samurai, through diligent practice and extreme concentration, desired to attain a state of unthoughtfulness, free of attachment or preoccupation, and thus able to respond instantly. A warrior is prepared to die each morning. In the quiet moments of the morning, he imagines himself being struck by lightning, doused by fire, or cut to pieces with a sword or spear. It is hard to remember that one step outside the doorway is the world of death. #Honor #Bushido #samuraisord #katana

In Hinomotoichi's Calligraphy Trial Plan, students do not pick up a brush and start writing immediately after the lesson begins.  Instead, we begin by explaining about the culture of calligraphy and the history of calligraphy in Japan. This is because it helps them to better understand the difference between Japanese calligraphy and caligraphy, which is a form of character decoration that also exists in other countries, and to appreciate the beauty of the Japanese language. #calligraphy #kanji #shodo
