Meditation Time in Nishiokoppe
On Saturday, June 8, a yoga and aroma instructor from Mombetsu
visited Burari Café!

Burari Café has a calming interior
and the sunlight coming through the windows felt soft.
Because it was hot that day, the breeze flowing in was especially pleasant!

In that lovely space,
we received a lecture on mindfulness meditation
and actually tried meditating.

Just closing my eyes and focusing on my breath
reminded me again that this is an important time for calming the mind.

In the workshop,
we also learned how to make an aroma spray!
The ingredients aren’t many, and it seems easy to make at home *^^*

For the workshop, the essential oils provided were hinoki and yuzu.

Both have relaxing effects,
and hinoki is said to have deodorizing and insect-repellent properties as well.

To close the event, we had a handmade lunch.
There was a fluffy omelet baked in the oven
and rice mixed with butterbur, along with a lineup of side dishes.

The soup contained new onions and ume (Japanese plum)!
The tartness of the ume was striking, and I was surprised how well it suited a broth.

Thank you for a soothing time!

“Mom”’s CD Debut On the night of Saturday, June 15, friends and fans gathered to celebrate someone’s CD debut, joined by a star-studded lineup and about 70 audience members. The debut artist was Keiko Takahashi. Born and raised in Nishiokoppe Village, she raised five children and has also performed widely as a skoppu shamisen (shovel shamisen) player. Her meeting with singer-songwriter Riku Nakanishi inspired Keiko’s songs, and after six months of intensive training she reached the milestone of a CD debut. She had thought, “I will never sing in front of people in my life,” but listening to a song that reflected her own experiences stirred a desire to sing, she said on stage. On the night of the CD debut, the stage featured guitarists active in the village and the skoppu shamisen players and singers who have performed with Mom. Amid laughter, applause, and occasional call-and-response, the final performer—Mom—confidently sang her song. Some long-time acquaintances were in the audience, and the venue felt lively and warm. The CD is currently being sold by hand. Online sales are planned for the future. Once again, congratulations on your debut, Mom!! Thank you to all the performers for a wonderful stage. #Mom #Mom’s youth is now #CD debut #CD release event #Tour #Nishiokoppe Village #Congratulations

Our Village Beautification Project Saturday, June 8 was a sunny day with hot sunlight beating down. Local businesses, elementary school students, the nursery parents’ association and others took part, planting flower seedlings along the roadside ❀ We planted marigolds. They’re the same color as Setoushi-kun! After the opening ceremony, as with past years’ activities, each team quickly dispersed to their assigned spots. Work progressed with efficient movements as if everyone had already discussed the plan. Some people dug the soil with shovels, others placed the seedlings on the soil, and others covered the seedlings with soil… The planting was finished in less than an hour. It’s a small thing, but seeing flowers along the road really does make you happy. Thank you to the organizing committee members who prepared everything from early morning and to all participants for your hard work! #Nishiokoppe Village #Our Village Beautification Project #Seedling planting #Pansies #Marigolds #Thank you for your hard work in the heat
