Trekking on Rebun Island, I have immersed myself in various mountainous landscapes representative of Japan, such as Kamikochi and the Tateyama Mountain Range, as a lover of mountain walking. However, the flower fields on the floating hills in the sea offer a unique world that can only be experienced by coming to this place. The vast panorama, scattered with a variety of alpine plants in vibrant colors, makes me think that if there is a heaven, it might look like this. In the northernmost summer of Japan, the breathtaking scenery that can only be encountered in this season and at this location is something I hope everyone can come, see, and feel at least once in their lifetime. It truly is a paradise.

Wind Children Pīhyara Troupe, see you again! In early July, two performers from the Kazenoko Theatre Company came from Hokkaido. They are the Wind Children (Pīpū) Pīhyara Troupe! They excel at traditional games like kendama, juggling, and spinning tops. The audience was captivated by their skillful spinning of tops and their light-hearted juggling while singing. Before we knew it, the story had begun... This time, it was the tale of "Shouboujidousha Jiputa." The objects appearing in the story were made from familiar materials, leading to many discoveries and surprises about how such expressions can be created! The audience, enchanted by the duo's playful performance, remained in the venue after the show to enjoy traditional games. Both adults and children played together, sharing joy. It was a wonderful performance that seemed to awaken the childlike spirit that had been sleeping somewhere within us. Thank you to everyone who came, the Kazenoko Theatre Company! #Nishiokoppe Village #Kazenoko Theatre Company #Traditional Games #Theatre #Pīpū Pīhyara Troupe
