Good Eveninyaー

 

 

 

Today, Fukumura Mizuki-san, Ishida Ayumi-chan and I, the ３ of us for

 

 

 

Asobu。 Kurasu。 Sodateru。 SATOYAMA&SATOUMI he Ikou 2015
[tl: Play. Live. Grow. Let’s go to SATOYAMA&SATOUMI 2015]

 

to make goods material for the book

 

We went to the Miyagi prefecture！

 

 

Today all day, we got to hear lots of stories.

 

 

First off we went to the mountain to hear sories from the people from Minamisanriku forest association

 

hearing stories about the forest thinning,

 

For trees to grow it’s not good to just plant trees,

 

I got taught about how reliably thinning, that is pruning, if you don’t maintain it trees won’t grow！

 

 

At a glance, trees that are pruned might seem poor but,

 

they said fallen trees eventually turn into earth, and become fertilizer for the mountain (*^^*)

 

 

The mountain does things steadily

 

From the mountains, water flows going to the river, and before long it connects to the ocean

 

 

The pretty water goes to the oceans, it’s thanks to the mountain, and maintaining the mountain is us, mankind you know(*^^*)

 

 

 

And time, the goods that came from the trees,

 

we’re making using the wood from the thinned trees

 

 

And so not one thing, it’s not something wasted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the tree goods we’re making

 

We went to the Minamisanriku revival octopus event   YES workshop-san！

 

 

 

Here other than the souvenirs made from trees, there’s lots of cocoon dolls and things made from the silkworm cocoons too

 

I like silkworms so, it was very exciting～！！

 

 

The goods are keyholders for each Hello！Project group

 

 

These keyholders, the wood logs from the thinning turned into planks, and then the planks are made into keyholders.

 

 

The keyholder shape is drawn out, and the left over pieces and interior are turned into fertilizer,

 

Even here there’s no waste (*^^*)

 

 

For the keyholders, we 3 also made them while learning from the workshop people so

 

Perhaps maybe everyone’s ones will get into the hands of some people～！！

 

 

 

 

And lastly, to listen to talks from the Miyagi northern forest management office, we went to the coast disaster prevention woods.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s the place where this famous, solitary cryptomeria tree is.

 

 

And so this time, a part of the keyholder sales are being used for the revival of the Higashimatsushima forest.

 

Various preparations are done, and finally in the next fiscal year (After April), it seems trees will be planted.

 

I want a fantastic forest to be revived, fast.

 

 

 

 

Yesterday, it’s been ４ years since that earthquake.

 

 

４ years feel like they went by in a flash but, today going to Miyagi prefecture and look around,

 

The deep scars still left there really pained my heart

 

 

 

Still there’s lot of new soil like that.

 

 

Here originally it was ◯◯, hearing that each time I couldn’t imagine it

 

 

Still just ４ years, it gave that impression.

 

 

 

But, today I heard lots of talks, each person, even doing a little bit

 

I was taught how that connects to a bigger thing.

 

Lots of people are working days and days for the revival,

 

 

What I can do,

 

 

I feel like I want to do it with all my might.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow I’ll panyanyan too

 

You panyanyan tooー
