[Baked potatoes on a bonfire] Nature experience in autumn. After the curatorial event, on the day of the substitute holiday Elementary school students gathered and made a bonfire! The last thing I went to was carrying firewood. Carry the firewood used to make the fire to the BBQ House. Some of the firewood was long and thick. There was also the work of cutting and splitting. Children in the lower grades Scenes of interest in various things, such as lighting fires and cutting wood. When I thought that the person in charge was decided and started moving, I thought, "I want to do that too!" It was interesting to see a child in the upper grades calmly observing the way his feet stopped. A child who likes chopping firewood and keeps chopping it all the time. Some of the children kept cutting trees all the time. Even a first-grader can use a solid saw By the end of the meeting, I was completely good at using a saw! It's amazing how focused they are. Fun of bonfires isn't just about the experience, of course. I also had the pleasure of eating baked potatoes and bread sticks! Sweet potato is a sweet potato that I was allowed to dig on the waterfall last month. Because the firepower was stronger than expected, and the newspaper and aluminum foil wrapping were weak. There were some potatoes that were charred on the outside (it's a reflection ...) The inside is thick and thick! It was packed with sweetness! This is an aside, but After coming to Nishiokoppe, bonfires, BBQ, wood stoves, etc. I have had so many opportunities to see the fire. How do you light, keep and extinguish a fire? Not only in reading Documents, but also in everyday experiences The environment in which you can get to know is interesting. ＊＊＊ Halloween Events this weekend! Please dress up and gather at Nishiokoppe! #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Autumn #Nature Experience #Kiiku #Elementary school students #Experience #Bonfire #Roasted sweet potato #Stick bread

Making things with fresh wood We split, shave, and carve recently cut, undried wood…and a shape emerges. This year again, Mariko Kusakari came from Hakodate to teach a greenwoodwork class at the forest museum Komu. I joined the mini dish course! Taking into account what each person wanted to make and the diameter of the trunk, we started by choosing wood. Participants making mini dishes chose three types: willow, white birch, and magnolia. When we split the logs, the heartwood felt moist and wet. Magnolia gave off a pleasant woody aroma, but the cut surface of the willow had a strange, fermenting scent. Using a shaving horse, froe, knives, and other tools, we shaved to our preferred thickness and carved to the desired depth. I rounded the corners of my dish, but pieces with pointed corners were lovely, and it was fun to look at the dishes others made. Those more practiced made long, narrow dishes with three holes, and I admired their skill. I hope to dry it carefully and use it for a very long time. Thank you for a wonderful time! #Nishiokoppe Village #Komu #Greenwoodwork #Workshop #Fresh wood #Small dish #Mini dish #Pencil case #To hold glasses #To display fruit #Wood cut by someone you often meet on walks
