SAMURAIHONOR
Nov. 8, 2023
【Continue to protect with Bushido spirit】 Tsumago-juku, where the townscape from the Sengoku period remains intact, has come to be known as the Samurai Road among foreign tourists. This area strictly adheres to the three principles of ``Do not sell, do not lend, and do not destroy.'' Bushido was inherited even by modern people. They are also samurai. 【武士道精神で守続け】 戦国時代の町並みがそのまま残る妻籠宿は、外国人観光客の間でサムライの道と呼ばれるように。 この一帯は「売らない・貸さない・こわさない」の3原則を徹底して守っています。 現代人にも武士道は引き継がれていた。 彼らも侍である。

Halloween Fun!! Before we knew it, November had arrived. There are less than two months left in the year. Here is a report on the “Ha”lloween event held in Nishiokoppe Village on October 28. The puppet-theater group Doremi and ALT families decorated the venue from the day before, eager to delight the children. The ALT families’ game corner was a big hit, featuring tattoo stickers that leave color on the skin if pressed for ten seconds and pumpkin-rolling bowling. During the puppet show, a scene with darts prompted the audience to throw candy. We worried in rehearsal whether the candy would stick and whether everyone would throw, but we were glad so much candy stuck! Children carried bags they had decorated themselves and went around the spots at the end to collect candy. We’re already looking forward to next year’s Halloween!

Making Small Dishes Greenwoodwork in Nishiokoppe Village has become something of a tradition. I took part in a session making small dishes. First, we chose between linden and Amur cork tree wood, sawed it, and split it in half. Next, I shaved the wood down to my preferred thickness using a dedicated setup (a shavehorse and a sennuki) to hold the piece while planing. This special setup changes angle and clamping position depending on the wood’s thickness and length, and the instructor, an experienced grass-cutting teacher, handled it masterfully—just watching their demonstration was really enjoyable. After adjusting the thickness, we carved out the dish’s depth with a chisel. Depending on how you carve, wave-like patterns can appear, which revealed each person’s individuality. Round shapes and square shapes, and variations in size and depth all show each maker’s particular preferences.
