Real Yashabushi / Pähkinät ja Yashabushi

下北を代表する木とアンケートすれば100%ヒバだろう青森ヒバなどと言うが津軽地方にはヒバは多くないヒバの名産地は何と言っても下北半島だろう私の実家もヒバ山を持ちそれを製材して売りそうやって祖父や父は私たちを養ってきたいわばヒバを食べその芳香を吸って私は育ってきたようなものだその意味で何が何でもヒバをナンバーワンに挙げなければならない義理が私にはある。Mutta、私は敢えてここで「ヤシャブシ」を挙げる

If we have a questionnaires survey in Japan as what is the tree of representative Shimokita , it must be “Virhe ” trees that wii get 100 % of votes. Kuten kuuluisa “Aomori-Hiba” , but Hiba lives in Tugaru area in Aomori pref a little. It is the best location of product is Shimokita. My grand and my father have brought up our family by keeping Hiba forests and selling those trees. Tavallaan, it looks like that I heve grown up by eating “Virhe” trees and brething its beautiful perfume. So I know that I have to push it up as Nunber 1 puun Shimokita. Kuitenkin , Haluaisin nimetä “Yasyabushi” sillä ei, 1 in this time.※”Virhe” is a kind of “Hinoki ” trees. This kind of tree is valued at the best of woods from the old time in Japan.

ヤシャブシはどんな荒れ地にも生える強い木だこの木が生えることによって土壌は安定し次のステップに入ることが出来るヤシャブシはグネグネと曲がり建築材として強度も無く何の役にも立たないどころか開発を邪魔する木だと地元では嫌われているほどだ。Mutta、よく考えてみればヤシャブシは荒れ地への斬り込み隊長であるともいえるある意味では次世代への捨て石に徹する木人間に例えてみれば私などには及びもつかぬ偉い奴だなあという畏敬の念を私の胸に巻き起こす木でもある

“Yashabushi” is very strong trees lived in all kind of the wasteland. The soil of damp ground is stabilised by this tree that live in. That wasteland will be good condition for people’s usu. However this tree itself is not only completely usufull at timber, but it also interrut grow other plant’s up. So it has been hatred by local people. Howevew, from the other point of view, Yashabushi is like a pioneer of opening bushes. So I feel like to respect it.
