浜辺を歩く

昆布拾い
ハマナスの群生が復活してきた
かつての木造船

Yesterday (8/10)、I walked along the beach to my parents' house.。about 1.5km。About 30 minutes while taking photos etc.。The sandy beach in front of me (though、Before you go far from the surf, the rocky shore spreads out.) From here it continues north for about 15 km.、Japan's largest sand dune、Southern end of Sarugamori Sand Dunes in Shimokita (detailed introduction in 2012/9/1 "Sand Dune Lake")。Suddenly, from the northern end of the dunes, a sheer cliff with a height of 3 to 400 meters appears.、Continuing to Shiriyazaki, the northeastern tip of Honshu。If the weather is nice、From there, you can see Esan, Hokkaido, across the Tsugaru Strait.、You can take photos of Kandatema with it in the background.。

About 3km to the south、After all, Tomariiso is a steep cliff.。Osprey = hawk that eats fish as its staple food、known as a breeding ground for。Further south, there is a sandy beach again.、becomes a low-lying wetland、Via Lake Ogawara、Reaching Misawa and Sabishiro。Beyond Misawa is Hachinohe。The coast rises much higher south of Hachinohe.、Sanriku coast begins。

There are some waves due to the aftermath of Typhoon No. 13, but、There are people wandering around picking up kelp.。People who have free time (mostly elderly people) do this.、It seems that you can sometimes earn a higher annual income than those who work full-time.。Of course, it is not stable because it is left to nature.。I cleaned my parents' house and weeded their grave.。

お盆用「過去」住宅地図

A map that matches my memory

It's Obon。It's probably similar in any rural area.、These past few days have not only been filled with souls from the afterlife.、Bringing together people who usually live far away、It will be like a “joint memorial service”。It's also class reunion season。

Visiting relatives' homes during the Obon period、It is customary to place incense sticks on the Buddhist altar.。Because sometimes we go wrong、There is usually someone at home。My role is to stay at home。Because I don't remember which relatives' houses I should visit.、suitable for the role。The trouble is、I know the face of the person who comes to burn incense.、exact personal name and、What kind of relationship do you have with my family?、That's something I don't really understand。Most of their faces are of the late elderly.、I'll have a young person "carry" me along the route by car.、I don't have time to talk。

The purpose is also to get my mother to talk.、That's why I do some studying for Obon.。ask about in-law relationships、ask about your occupation、Draw a map of the houses of the time。Not only can you understand the social situation at the time, but、I wonder how stupid I was (and still am)、I can understand it well by the way。

8/10 7:00 It's a little sunny this morning。22It looks like it will be warm until about °。

ガダ

ガダ(ギンポ=銀宝) 美味

“Gada、"Have you ever poked me?" he suddenly asked.、my mother asked me。"do not have。I have also caught、I've eaten it before、"I've never gone out at night," I replied.、"That's delicious," he said.。When my mother was a daughter, she and her sister、taken by relatives、Apparently he has gone out at night several times.。night when the tide is low、A stick with hooks that stirs the rock and drives out fish.、Holding an acetylene lamp to illuminate my feet、Gada fishing involves poking gada with a thin two-pronged spear (harpoon).。A girl in the upper grades of elementary school to junior high school is on the beach at night.、The image of a fish making a playful noise as it pokes a fish with a harpoon could be made into a manga.。of course、It's not usually women's fishing.。Like a mother who was full of curiosity.、It's a good episode。

What is Gada?、Eels and moray eels、Local name for a fish that looks like it has been compressed vertically into a smaller size (approximately 5 cm wide and 30 cm long)。The standard Japanese name is "Ginpo"。From southern Hokkaido to northern Kyushu、Up to Nagasaki prefecture、live around the seashore。Once dry、Grill it quickly、boiled、Very delicious when eaten as the core of kelp rolls。Because they cannot be caught in large quantities、It is almost never seen in urban markets.。

I'm bedridden but、memory is good、Dementia is not very advanced。Conversation (with dentures removed)、I'm a little hard of hearing、(Sometimes it's hard to understand because of the dialect, but it's not a problem.)。It's already been 8 months with just the IV drip.。I'd like to hear from you while you're still feeling well.、I think it's my mission。
