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!

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.

[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!

A Relaxing Stop at the Burari Café
The reservation-only Burari Café

On Sunday, October 15th,
Burari Café opened with an instructor offering finger yoga and hand massages!

Tomiyo prepared lunch,
and while enjoying the delicious aromas,
I tried a hand massage.

Stiffness had built up on the backs of my hands and fingertips,
and as it loosened, my hands seemed to move more smoothly.

After my hands warmed up,
I savored a lunch featuring ingredients from Nishiokoppe.

The corn rice, mixed with a touch of butter, was superb.

I couldn’t join the finger yoga session this time,
but I hope to find another chance to try it.

It was a comfortable space where I could chat leisurely with other participants.

Bonfire Roasted Sweet Potatoes
On Sunday, after the elementary school students finished their school play,
Monday, October 16, became a substitute holiday.

The bonfire event, postponed due to bad weather,
was held in the morning!

We gathered at 9:00 AM
and enjoyed ourselves fully until noon.

To skewer marshmallows,
we whittled the tips of branches with knives,
but first we practiced by sharpening pencils.

With the uniquely shaped pencils done,
we carried out firewood together with the elementary students.

After the fire was lit,
we whittled more branches and
wrapped sweet potatoes and potatoes in wet newspaper and aluminum foil.

Before we knew it, while eating the roasted potatoes,
it was already time to disperse.

On a season that turned chilly,
the warmth of the bonfire and the kindness of the children
really warmed us.

VOICE Comes to Nishiokoppe!
About a month ago
I found myself listening to “24-Hour Myth”
and waiting eagerly for the live show.

When the concert finally began,
even songs I heard for the first time
drew me in with the guitar tones and soaring vocals.

Nearly two hours flew by in an instant!

Partway through, during a song that imagined the feelings of salted salmon roe,
the audience joined in at a certain part,
and the whole venue felt united.

By the final act,
the applause and cheers never stopped…
The excitement was palpable.

It was their first Nishiokoppe live in five years.
I’m already looking forward to the day the two of them return!!

Brass Ensemble Mini Concert
On the evening of Friday, September 29,
a mini concert by the Nishiokoppe Junior High School Brass Band took place at Morino Bijutsukan "komu".

This time, three third-year students each performed a solo.

Trombone and trumpet players produced beautiful tones alongside images projected on the wall.
The drummer spun the sticks and showed off elegant hand work.

The third-year students recently retired after the school cultural festival.
Well done and thank you for your hard work!

Potato digging
A potato field tended as a hobby.

After October began, about seven of us gathered on a holiday and went to dig potatoes!

First we removed the weeds and leaves lying on the soil,
then used digging forks to unearth the potatoes carefully without piercing them.

After digging them up, we left them in the sun for a while to dry their skins,

then sorted the potatoes by size—large and small—and put them into bags before loading them onto the truck.

My leg muscles still ache even after two or three days (laughs).

It felt great to work up a good sweat after such a long time!
