Iwatsuki/falconry procession

Lord Ieyasu of Falconry。One frame in the queue
Harris Hawk in hand、Bright young falconers also participate.。It was cool。

11Monday, March 3rd is Culture Day。I saw a falconry procession for the first time in the former Iwatsuki City (currently Iwatsuki Ward, Saitama City).。Originated from the Edo period、Based on the historical fact that Tokugawa Ieyasu came to Iwatsuki many times for falconry.。This is the 13th time this year there has been a line.。About 20 hawks、The pamphlet says there are 100 people in line.、It looked almost like that。

I'm glad it was sunny though、Unfortunately, the hawk released by the strong wind was tossed around by the wind.、“Are you okay, Taka?” I almost want to say tsukkomi.、It seems that it was not a good place for the hawk to hunt.。From what I hear, it's a young hawk, about 1 to 2 years old.、I was told that I still don't have enough power.。If you look closely, you'll see a face you've never seen before.。What type of hawk? When I asked him about it, he said it was a Harris Hawk (Japanese name: Momoakanawsuri).。
(Although it's a bit of an afterthought)、The Harris Hawk is a slightly smaller hawk than the buzzard and is easier to keep.、It is said to be an "introductory species of birds of prey."。Its natural habitat is from southwestern North America to Argentina.、Locally, the number is said to be decreasing due to development.。instead、Due to ease of breeding etc.、In recent years, it is often used for falconry (around the world).。It seems that it is also sometimes used to properly exterminate the pigeons that are overpopulating the plaza.。)

The falconry procession is co-sponsored by the executive committee and Iwatsuki Ward.、It's a kind of town revitalization event.。But、Achieving your goal isn't that easy、surely。Rows of food stalls、There was no such sight.。At Iwatsuki Elementary School at the finish line、In the style of a skit, Shogun Ieyasu said, ``Iwatsuki is safe.''、I'll protect you,'' he said into the microphone.、“Like a hawk tossed about by a strong wind.、Iwatsuki also prayed in his heart that he wouldn't be blown away by the winds of society.。

baseball fan

professional baseball、Dodgers win consecutive World Series in American Major League Baseball。Otani from the same team、Yamamoto、All three Sasakis played a big role (Pitcher Yamamoto won MVP with 3 wins in the series)。There are probably a lot of Dodgers fans in Japan.、I think there were quite a few people who watched it on TV.。

Dodgers vs Blue Jays championship game、I saw it later on some channels.、What I found surprisingly interesting was a YouTube channel called "Netchu High School Baseball Club" (I think this channel usually provides detailed information on "high school baseball" in various regions of Japan).、A public monitor room in the stadium? Dodgers fans out there、If you have a ticket, why not watch it at the stands? I thought so.、In an environment where everyone stands and watches (under the monitor)、I think it would be more fun to just bump our bodies together and react to each other.。The match itself was quite thrilling.、A series of good plays。The fans of both teams must have been very excited.。

OHTANI、BETTS、I could see the backs of many fans wearing KARSHAW T-shirts.。Only players can play games (the literal meaning of the word "player")、What creates the larger space called “baseball” that includes the players themselves?、I am once again reminded of the power of these fans.。

something that can be touched by hand

``What's on the desk right now'' Black and brown pen

virtual、fake、I'm too used to the word AI、I'm already feeling like, ``Oh, now that I think about it, I heard it a long time ago.''。Will SNS and YouTube be added to that?。In any case, things like this are so commonplace that we don't even realize it anymore.。

But、All of them are “on the screen (monitor)”。Delicious food from around the world、Beautiful natural scenery too、All the celebrities I admire are on the monitor.。Even with tens of thousands of likes、Can also be eaten、I can breathe in that air、I can't even hold that person's hand、The illusion of “sharing” it is also on the monitor.。

In front of me was shredded slightly hard cabbage and fried horse mackerel.、The carpet was peeling off in places.、a little bit? Maybe it's a tired wife or husband.、They are all、you can touch it with your own hands。directly connected to your body。
Virtual、fake、AI and YouTube are just a dream、I wouldn't go so far as to say that、I know to some extent that there is great value in that.。Even the things I ordered from Uber Eats、When it arrives, please touch it with your hands.、you can eat deliciously。Even if the Secret Service puts their index finger in front of their lips、Before someone's plane arrives, many curious people who found out about it on social media are waiting with their cameras ready.。Not just a song song dream、that's part of reality、“Touching” that mechanism will actually create a crisis.。
but、What cannot be touched is after all、prone to lies。

There is a sense of trust in things that can be touched with hands.。It's not just a sentiment、Because it was a collection of living things' wisdom.。on the other hand、At first glance, I intend to be touched.、For example, seasoning ingredients、○○acid◇◇ can't actually be touched。Therefore, there is room for lies to be mixed in.。Kelp and shiitake mushrooms that I bought myself、For soup stock made with bonito flakes、There will be much less room for lies.。
Even if you draw it on paper with a pen。Even if I draw it digitally、There is no doubt that both are pictures.。But the picture drawn on paper、Whereas paper and ink are things that can be touched by hand.、The latter is data (numbers) that cannot be touched.、The difference is that they are wearing the mask of a painting.。-That's a bit of a bummer.、Isn't "a picture drawn on paper" just a mask called "rice cake drawn on a picture"?、A kind of mix-up、Logically incorrect in this case -
Analog is better for everything、I don't mean to say that。I think it's important that each person has their own place.。
