Kon-gari, Fluffy Setoushi-kun Cakes Setoushi-kun Cakes These baked sweets, shaped like Nishiokoppe Village’s mascot Setoushi-kun, resemble baby castella cakes. They are made by Yume-mura Mori no Garden. This group tends the garden behind Hotel Rimu and Kourakuen, and developed a souvenir confection that visitors can take home, launching sales in 2021, the Year of the Ox. Setoushi-kun Cakes are made like taiyaki, poured into Setoushi-kun molds and baked. Skilled hands precisely and swiftly pour just the right amount into each mold. When the timer rings and the mold opens, a golden-brown Setoushi-kun appears. Freshly baked ones are rarely available to eat on the spot, but I enjoyed one between shots during the photo session. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside. They have a comforting, gentle flavor. The batter includes white birch sap harvested in Nishiokoppe, which gives them their natural sweetness. (White birch sap is rich in 17 types of amino acids, minerals, and vitamin C—one of the selling points of Setoushi-kun Cakes😎) * * * * * From summer through autumn, they appear at events, and are sold once a month at various village facilities. (Q Mart, Roadside Station Kam, Komu Museum of Art, and Hotel Rimu) Flavors: plain and chocolate chip 10 pieces 300 yen If you see them, why not try one? #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Yume-mura Mori no Garden #Setoushi-kun #Setoushi-kun Cakes #Baked confection #white birch sap

[February Pop-up by Yukimichi Bookshop] Wednesday, February 12 With Valentine’s Day nearing, the books on display that day were chosen around the theme of "love." A plush "t" hanging in the room was irresistibly cute. If you look closely, there was also something black hiding behind the books 🐕 Next to the room of books sat perfectly round chocolate treats. While nibbling the sweets, visitors could try making bookmarks from scraps of deerskin. We stamped letters with a wooden mallet to emboss names or favorite words into the deerskin. Paired with colored cords (also deerskin!), the result was absolutely lovely. I only snapped a few photos and left early that day, so I want to take my time browsing the books next month… The location is unchanged The venue is Pom, between the village office and Kikuchi Store. Feel free to drop by. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Yukimichi Bookshop #Shimokawa Town #Bookstore #Pop-up #Pom #February 12 #Record

Racing Down on Cardboard Sleds Tuesday, February 11 As an event to celebrate 30 years with zero traffic-fatality accidents, a cardboard sled race was held. There were individual and team categories, and cardboard sleds that must have been crafted with great care sped down the ski slope! Even though they were all made from the same material—cardboard—each sled had its own personality. I joined the team category and built a sled one week before the race. When I added nylon to the parts that touch the snow, it slid with surprising speed. The sled bounced over small bumps, making for a very thrilling ride. Including the time spent building the sled, it was a fun event! The sled that won the team category is on display at the ski area. Feel free to slide and play with it until it breaks! #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Traffic Safety #Cardboard Sled Race #Ski Area

I visited Saijo Shibetsu store! Saijo Shibetsu store is holding a birthday festival to celebrate its 28th anniversary! For two days during the festival, wooden toys from Nishiokoppe Village were placed in a special area on the first floor. From the Komu Museum of Art we brought a wooden sandbox filled with hundreds of wooden balls, wooden puzzles, toy cars, and a Miracle Korokoro Tower where marbles roll for fun. A castanet-making workshop was also held in one corner of the venue! We spent two soothing days listening to the happy voices of visiting children and the warm sounds of the wooden balls. Next to the Nishiokoppe Village booth was a croquette vendor from Bifuka. Both the potato and pumpkin croquettes were delicious! They were wonderfully crispy. And Setoushi-kun collaborated with Bifuka-kun and Bifuka-chan! Some children looked puzzled when the mascots appeared, but it was heartening to see those who were delighted. Thank you to everyone who stopped by! Once again, congratulations to Saijo Shibetsu store on its 28th anniversary!! #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Saijo Shibetsu store #Birthday festival #Congratulations #Komu Museum of Art #Leather craft #Local specialty sales #Setoushi-kun #Bifuka-kun #Bifuka-chan

30-Unit Kite Flying Challenge Friday, January 24 A challenge praying for 30 years without traffic fatalities was held. Thirty kites, each hand-drawn by elementary school students from Nishiokoppe Village. It had been snowing lightly that day, but when it was time to fly the kites the snow stopped and a gentle wind picked up. The students lined up in a single row holding the kites. Starting from one end they let go in order, and after a few attempts the kites shot into the sky to cheers. Once they caught the wind the kites showed no sign of returning to the ground, swaying in the breeze (their tips whipping wildly). #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #30-Unit Kite Flying #Prayer #Traffic Safety #Kids enthralled by the drone #Challenge a great success

Hoarfrost Has Appeared Wednesday, January 22 A friend messaged me, "It looks beautiful right now," and I was able to take a good look at the hoarfrost. Just driving a short distance from the town toward Okoppe, I spotted trees with white-tipped branches here and there. It was a clear, sunny day. The blue sky behind the hoarfrost was beautiful. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Hoarfrost #Nature #Snowy Scenery #Animal tracks at my feet

Woodworking Instructor and Box Making Held at the Childcare Support Center A box-making class led by a woodworking instructor. This is the woodworking instructor who has been with Nishiokoppe Village since April last year. We often meet and talk, but I rarely get to observe a woodworking lesson, so I decided to watch the box-making class. The materials and tools needed are wooden boards, wood glue, nails, and a sledgehammer (genno). They were making a box the perfect size for a pen holder. The four boards for the sides had grooves to fit the bottom board. There were even nail starter holes where the nails would be driven. (With these holes you can tell exactly where to drive the nail and the nail stays steady, so it’s easier to hammer.) Even for a simply constructed box, such thoughtful details make the work much easier to carry out. This time, to get used to handling the sledgehammer, they deliberately included the step of driving nails into the box. After gluing the boards together to form the box, they drove nails to secure the boards to each other. Driving nails straight and keeping the boards from shifting is fairly difficult. Watching the woodworking instructor handle it lightly with a rhythmic “ton, ton, ton,” I thought, as expected, they’re skilled. We moved to Somukan (a workshop the villagers can use for free!) to finish with sanding and other final touches, and then it was complete. That was a look at the box-making class. ＊＊＊＊＊ From Saturday, February 1 to Friday, February 28, the 28th Woody Winter School will take place! Details will be posted in another update📢 #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #woodworking #mokuiiku (wood learning) #woodworking class #woodworking instructor #childcare support #sledgehammer (genno) #I had always called it a tacker or hammer #Woody Winter School

Making Miso The other day, I attended a miso-making gathering. It was a small event where people who make miso for their own table met with local adults and children from the nursery school. At the nursery in Nishiokoppe Village they grow vegetables in a field, and one of the crops they raised this year was soybeans. "Miso is made from soybeans, isn’t it?" "What else is made from soybeans?" While reading a picture book, they connected the story to their own experiences and thought about soybeans and miso. The first task was to crush the soybeans that had been cooked in advance. They put the soybeans into a mincer, and when they turned the handle, the beans became a paste. Both the person holding the mincer base and the person turning the handle needed a lot of strength. The little makers worked hard, crushing the beans with steady force. They mixed salt and koji with the soybeans, formed miso balls, and tossed them into a barrel. The beans that had gleamed and shone gradually smoothed out over about an hour and a half. Miso takes more than six months from making to being ready to eat. As the gentle, mellow scent of soybeans filled the air, we thought we would have to wait until next year… but then— One of the group brought miso they had made last year, so we all enjoyed miso soup together. For me, miso had become something I just bought. This showed me that making it myself is an option too. The miso we made this year will sleep soundly until next year. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #miso making #miso #handmade #nursery school #soybeans #field #mokuiiku (wood learning) #miso soup

Miyanomori Draped in Snow Over the course of a few days, Miyanomori deepened in snow. While helping a wood education program coordinator, I took a short stroll through Miyanomori. I trudged through the snow, my boots sinking as I walked. If I had been alone, I would have kept my eyes on the ground, but when someone spoke to me and I looked up, I found flower buds and leaf buds. They’re putting out buds and patiently waiting for the long winter to pass. There was a hollow opening in a trunk. I wondered whether someone lives there or had lived there. I learned that the cracked bark on the Sakhalin fir is caused by frost cracking. Moisture inside the tree freezes and expands, splitting the trunk. When the trunk cracks, a clear sound is said to ring through the whole forest. I tried walking alongside deer tracks and picked up fallen fruits and flowers from the snow. I also loved the view of the town dusted in snow from a slightly higher vantage point. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #winter #snow #snow-dusted #Miyanomori #wood education #kobushi (Japanese magnolia) #yachidamo (Manchurian ash) #Sakhalin fir #deer

The Resurrected Sound of the Drums Sunday, December 1 We performed the Wenshiri Taiko from Nishiokoppe Village at the Okoppe Town Charity Variety Show. We played a single short six-minute piece. It depicted Mt. Wenshiri awakening as snow melts, from winter into spring. We were very glad to receive so many warm rounds of applause and words of encouragement. Since we had the chance, here is a brief story of how Nishiokoppe Village’s taiko practice was revived. Taiko performance in Nishiokoppe Village began in the 1980s. Back then the drummers were the local youth association. Their powerful rhythms energized festivals and other events. The piece played since that time was Wenshiri Taiko. A teacher from the elementary school composed the piece, and it was handed down through performances until around 2000. Afterward, following the disbanding of the youth association and other changes, the drummers disappeared and the drums lay silent for a long time. There was a period when a volunteer taiko circle was active, but the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult to invite instructors, and the drums fell completely quiet. Things started moving again in August of this year. As the variety show was returning, former drummers and villagers with strong musical insight teamed up to revive Wenshiri Taiko and learn the piece. Although we were amateurs, seven passionate members brought the Wenshiri Taiko back to life with resounding sound. After that performance, a few villagers who heard us at the variety show joined as new members, and we continue our activities today. We were fortunate to be invited to perform at the Okoppe Town Charity Variety Show. Though our group formed only recently, getting calls from inside and outside the village has energized our practice. This has become a bit long. Restarting something that had stopped and keeping it going takes a great deal of energy. We hope the members can keep enjoying their activities and that this joy reaches those who listen. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #drums #Wenshiri Taiko #Okoppe Town #Town Charity Variety Show #December 1 #youth association #taiko #I was the filming team

Traveling Yukimichi Bookshop Wednesday, November 20 The space called Pom Yukimichi Bookshop from Shimokawa Town arrived carrying many books. In Nishiokoppe Village, a certain private house has been opened as a third place. That place is Pom. It is located between the village office and Kikuchi Store. In a room at Pom, where a wall is covered with bookshelves, the traveling Yukimichi Bookshop opened. Books filled the desks, and I stared at the covers and flipped through pages at random. On display were picture books and children’s books, maps of the world, books about plants, blue books, and more. Other visitors came by, and it was fun to watch them compare books and wonder which to buy. Next to the room for browsing books, people from Pom and the community laid out shared snacks and we relaxed while eating. The next visit is scheduled for Friday, December 20. They might bring Christmas books. Thank you to Yukimichi Bookshop and everyone who came to meet the books. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Yukimichi Bookshop #Shimokawa Town #Bookstore #Traveling shop #Pom #Shared snacks #November 20 #Record #Next time: December 20

He is nicknamed "Pon-chan" The lecturer, Mr. Takada, takes a walk while introducing moss. If you look closely~, moss has various shapes. I see, I see, and while beating the whirlwind On the way, the participants were drawn to the squirrels that appeared. Touch it, observe it, and when you know a little more about moss, you can move on to production. choose a glass container and how much sand to fill, It was a work full of worries, such as which moss to use and how to place it. By carefully removing the soil and leaves on the moss, It prevents mold and lives longer. There was also a large amount of moss As you loosen the soil, it will gradually become smaller. A small world spread out in moss that fits in both hands. Sea grass and small cows on moss, etc. If you put it on a little bit, it looks like you're looking down at the world from above.

[Farewell, fallen leaves] Squid sunny autumn day with a temperature of 5 degrees. At Korakuen, the last major task of the year was to clean up the fallen leaves that had accumulated in the pond. Wear long gloves that cover your upper arms. Wear a torso or boots on your feet and go into the pond. Holding it in your hand is a bamboo bear. Oyster fallen leaves floating on the surface of the water and fallen leaves that have sunk Put it in an onion net and collect it. Lifting from the pond to the ground is also a physically demanding task. In order to drain the water as much as possible, I used an onion net from last year. I came up with a way to put it in. The ground team is also bending down to pick up fallen leaves. Beside me, with moss and mushrooms glittering in the sun, Setoushi-kun. It was a long time of work. It was probably the first time I set foot in Korakuen since the summer.
