Kemono Night
On the night of the mid‑autumn full moon (or so we thought—turns out it was actually the next day)
Kemono Night returned after several years.
Centered on the Minami family, dairy farmers in Nishiokoppe, and the guesthouse GA.KOPPER,
a handful of Nishiokoppe locals and visiting chefs from nearby areas,
with the cooperation of musicians, came together for a feast.
Eating what was once alive
and so carrying on life itself
Around a firelit banquet
we spent an evening giving thanks for life and the producers.
Before we knew it, what had been just a sheet of plywood
was adorned with deer and bear, providing warmth.
Chilly but wrapped in clear air,
the warm, richly flavored soup was superb.
Deer, bear, sheep, cattle, plus vegetables and cheese
We savored the gratitude of tasting locally harvested ingredients
and the luxury of those ingredients becoming truly delicious dishes
through the chefs’ wisdom and skill.
Food that brings people together.
Will the people who gathered that night meet again somewhere down the road?
Thanks to the producers and everyone who came together that night.

The Revived Variety Show
Nishiokoppe Village’s variety show was held again for the first time in five years.
A huge, huge, huge success!!!!
The hiatus had several causes.
There were infectious diseases, budget cuts, a shortage of performers… and more.
Thanks to many forms of cooperation, we managed to overcome those obstacles
and were able to hold the event safely.
The show opened with the Wenshiri Taiko performance, revived after 20 years.
Although the performance lasted only five minutes,
it was powerful and a perfect choice to set the tone for the opening.
There were many acts across genres for children and adults alike,
and seeing friends and acquaintances happily take the stage
warmed everyone’s hearts.
Some acts were so intense that small children were moved to tears!
In the latter half, the karaoke segment livened things up.
You could lose yourself in beautiful voices,
or join in with supportive shouts and enjoy the moment together.
The evening closed with the audience singing the village festival song together and a fukumaki (good-luck bean toss).
We are grateful to everyone who came, everyone who performed, and those who supported us from afar. Thank you very much!

Shinto Shrine Festival
September 11th marked the shrine festival in the Nishiokoppe district.
Elementary and junior high schools ended classes early,
and by 10:30 everyone had gathered at the starting point for the mikoshi procession.
Adults and children alike wore happi coats
and moved through each neighborhood association.
Preschoolers dressed in ochigo (child attendant) costumes
followed the adults and the older students, walking on bravely.
It took about two and a half hours to complete the whole route.
Because people usually travel around the village by car,
it had been a long time since anyone walked this much.
The lion-dance team reportedly visited each house with someone at home,
which took more than twice as long.
Thank you to everyone for your hard work.
Despite all that walking, the elementary school children were full of energy for the sumo tournament!
They worked hard to earn pocket money for enjoying the evening variety show.
Although it was a serious competition,
the sumo tournament was full of smiles.
The whole village was awash in festival spirit for the day.
I will post separately about the evening variety show!
