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.

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!

[PR at AEON West in Asahikawa!] From October 21 to 22 we held a PR event for Nishiokoppe Village at AEON Mall West in Asahikawa city. Titled “Come Visit! The Big Nishiokoppe PR Campaign” We set up a booth beside the first-floor escalator and promoted Nishiokoppe alongside staff from the Hokkaido Shimbun Kitami branch. In Nishiokoppe there is an indoor facility called komu (komu) where you can play on wooden playground equipment, view woodcrafts, and sometimes make them yourself. This time we brought a wooden sandbox from there! It was packed with wooden balls and looked almost like a pool. From small children to adults people stepped into the sandbox to enjoy the feel of the wood together!^^! What delighted many visitors most of all was the appearance of Setoushi-kun! A few lucky guests even got to meet a version of Setoushi-kun who plays a real guitar. Thank you to everyone who filled out a survey and to those who joined the raffle!
