[Frost appeared]
January 22 (Wed)
An acquaintance informed me that it was beautiful now.
I was able to observe the frost closely.
If you drive a little Car from the city to Kobe
Here and there, there are trees where the tips of the branches look white.
On this day, the weather was sunny.
The blue sky reflected in the background of the frost was also beautiful.

[Woodworking instructor and box making]
It was held at a child-rearing support center
Box-making class by woodworking instructors.
This is a woodworking instructor who came to Nishiokoppe Village from April last year.
We often meet and talk
Since there are not many opportunities to witness woodworking instruction, I decided to Visiting the site of a box-making class.
The necessary materials and tools are wooden boards, woodworking bonds, nails, and genno.
The box is the perfect size for a pen stand.
The four planks on the sides have grooves to fit the bottom plate.
Moreover, there was even a hole for the nail in the place where the nail was hammered.
(Squid with this hole, you can see where to drive it & the nail is stable, so it is easy to drive)
Even if it is a simple box, without such care
It makes a big difference in how easy it is to work.
This time, I made a box that dared to go through the process of hammering nails so that I could get used to handling the genkan.
When the boards are bonded together to form a box, nails are hammered to fix the boards together.
It is quite difficult to hammer the nails straight and to hammer the boards so that they do not shift from each other. The woodworking instructor did it lightly, "Ton, ton, ton," so I was watching it while thinking that it was really good.
Somukan (Workshop that Village residents can use for free!) ) and finish such as sanding, and you're done.
Scenes of the box-making class.

【Making miso】
The other day, I witnessed the making of miso.
There were people making miso for their own eating, and it was a small gathering of local Adult and children from the nursery school.
At the nursery school in Nishiokoppe Village, vegetables are grown in the field.
Some of the crops we grew this year were soybeans.
"Miso is made from soybeans, isn't it?"
"What else is made of soybeans?"
Picture book while reading
Combined with our own experience, we think about soybeans and miso.
How to get started
Crush the soybeans that have been boiled beforehand.
Put the soybeans in the mincer
When you turn the handle around, the beans become a paste.
There are also those who hold down the foundation of the mincer
Turning the steering wheel is also a very force-intensive task.
The little makers crush the beans with great force and effort.
Mix salt and glue, mix in soybeans
Throw the miso dama you made into the barrel.
The beans that were shiny and sparkling
Over the course of about an hour and a half, it became smoother.
From the time you make miso to the time you eat it
It would take more than six months.
In the gentle mellow aroma of soybeans
Do you want to keep it until next year? Or so I thought.
One of the students brought us the miso we had prepared last year, so we all had miso soup.
For me, it was a matter of course to buy miso.
It makes me realize that I have the option of "creating" by myself.
For the miso prepared this year
Let them get a good night's sleep until next year.

【Snow-covered Miya Forest】
Over the course of a few days, the depth of the snow increased in the Miya Forest.
While assisting the tree education project promoter, I took a short walk in the Miya Forest.
I walk, drenched in snow, burying my feet in boots.
If I were alone, I would only look at my feet.
When I looked up after being called out, I found a bud of flowers and leaves.
It has sprouted and is waiting for the long winter to pass.
A gaping hole in the trunk.
I wonder if anyone lives there, or if they did.
I was told that the reason why the Todo pine tree is cracking is because of the "freeze".
The water in the tree freezes and expands, causing the trunk to crack.
It is said that when a crack appears in the trunk, a clear sound reverberates throughout the forest.
Walk next to the deer's footprints
Pick up fruits and flowers that fall on the snow.
The snow-covered towns seen from a slightly higher place was also my favorite view.

【The sound of revived drums】
December 1 (Sun)
At the Kobe Town residents charity performance, from Nishiokoppe Village
I played the Uensiri Drum.
He performed one short song of about 6 minutes.
From winter to Spring, it represented the scene of Mt. Uensiri waking up from the melting snow.
I am very happy to have received warm applause and words of support from many.
Because it's a big deal
I would like to tell you a little about the history of the revival of Japanese Drums in Nishiokoppe Village.
Japanese Drum performances began in Nishiokoppe Village in the 1980s.
At that time, the beaters were the Local Youth Group. The powerful sound of the young people enlivened the festivals.
The song that was played from that time was "Uensiri Drum".
At that time, the song was composed by an elementary school teacher, and it was played until about 2000.
After that, from the dissolution of the youth group, etc.
The Drums, who were no longer beating, slept for a long time without being played.
Along the way, there was a period when a volunteer Japanese Drum Circle was active, but it became difficult to Kiss a lecturer due to the corona vortex, and the sound of the Drum stopped completely.
The movement took place in August of this year.
"When the performing arts are revived, let's revive the drums as well."
Former drummers and Village people who excelled in music analysis joined forces to learn the Uensiri Drum.
Although it was a group of amateurs, it was made up of seven enthusiastic people.
The Uensiri Drum roared again.
After that, several Village residents who heard the performance at the performance party joined the group and continue their activities to this day.
I had a and connection with him, and I was able to have the opportunity to perform at the Kobe Town residents' charity performance. Although it is a group that has only been formed for a short time, we are approached from inside and outside the Village in this way, and we put a lot of effort into practice.
It's been a bit long.
I think it takes a lot of energy to start something that has been interrupted and continue to do so.
I would be happy if the members continued to enjoy their activities and conveyed this to the listeners.
