The summer festival in my town (city) was yesterday Sunday.、It ended at 10 p.m.。There is a shrine across the street from my house.、every evening、Flute and ohayashi drum practice was held there.。It felt noisy when I moved in.、Before I knew it, I got used to it.、I can hear it, but I'm not listening to it、It seems that I have become able to use my ears in this way.。It will cheer you up when you are feeling down.、I don't feel bad。
when I was a student、Even the famous Sanja Festival in Tokyo has lost its bearers.、When I remember that the festival itself was barely held,、Although it's not as big as the local festival boom.、There is a feeling of being separated by a lifetime.。After the coronavirus (although it seems like the coronavirus is still going on)、Medical institutions themselves are now seen as wolf boys.)、Do you feel that way all the more?。
Japan's population is shrinking year by year、The wider the region, the wider the range seems to be.。Whether the festival can be held、It may also be a barometer of whether a municipality can survive.。According to the public information, our city's population is decreasing little by little.、I feel that the number of foreigners is gradually increasing instead.。many more、Becoming a city that is easy for people from various countries to live in、I think it would be good to develop internationalism from the local areas.、Considering the closed nature of the area, there is almost no hope.。
Festivals create local connections。warm areas、I think this can be achieved through many such exchanges.。on the other hand、Strong ties tend to have strong exclusivity at the same time.。An organization similar to the territorial sense of wild animals、Is it like a sense of belonging?。That's、Before you know it, it transforms into something grotesque.、We also saw it at the beginning of the Ukraine war.。
What's important is、There is nothing other than “people”。。You can't do a festival alone.、Even if you can do it, it won't be fun if you're alone.。Some people pull floats、Some people just watch、I enjoy being able to share something good that I wouldn't be able to do alone.。The Osaka Expo scheduled to be held next year is、It seems to be quite unpopular both at home and abroad.。Just my imagination、The organizer may only see the estimate.。In a society that only sees each person as a ``number of people,''、I can't see the future。I feel like the Expo will be the event that proves that.。
