"There's a village culture festival in November," he said.
I can't believe there is such a festival...! I was surprised.
In Nishikobe Village, a cultural festival was held over three days.
November 1~2 is only on display,
On the 3rd, there will be a presentation in the community center area, an award ceremony, and a stage presentation.
The hotel that is the venue is connected to the community center and library.
In the library area, a used book market was held.
Sometimes, the books that the villagers give away end up in the hands of the villagers who are close to them.
While enjoying exhibitions such as ikebana and pictures and letters
In the tea room, I was able to taste Japanese sweets and tea.
This year, for the first time,
There was also a recitation by the puppet theater Circle Doremi and a storytelling of picture books.
Surrounded by sunlight shining through the ceiling window
I gradually became immersed in the world of spoken word plays and picture books.
In addition to volunteer bands, junior high school brass bands, and piano performances on stage,
In Nishikobe Village, the standard "flash mental arithmetic" was performed by children who attend the abacus class.
For adults, it is a valuable place to make presentations.
It was a cultural festival full of excitement and excitement.

Next, to the thickness you like
The wood was cut while sandwiching it with a special device (sharpening horse and sen).
This dedicated instrument is
Depending on the thickness and length of the wood, the angle may be changed or the position of the sandwich may be changed.
The grass cutting instructor is using it brilliantly, and even just watching the model work
It was a lot of fun.
Once the thickness can be adjusted
Carve it with a chisel to give the plate depth.
Depending on the carving, a wave pattern was created, and here too, individuality was visible.
Round and square shapes, also for size and depth
The commitment of each of them is evident.

With a finger yoga and hand massage teacher
