昨日（2023.09.18。 18時頃）のウオーキング中の写真。写真①：この角度から見ると高い雲が３つの山に見える。左の山と真ん中との切れ目の下あたりに、赤城山が “晴れていれば” 見えます。

写真②：夏場の群馬方面は、かなりの頻度でこんな感じで、これはまだ “控えめ” なほう。他が晴れ渡っていても、この方向だけは雲が盛り上がり、稲妻が縦だけでなく横に走ったり、雲全体が爆発でもしているかのように、凄まじく鼓動しながら光ったりする。あの下はどれほどの土砂降りになっているかと心配するほどだが、その割には災害の話題にならないのは、きっと風神雷神のパフォーマンスだからなのだろう。群馬は風神雷神の御在所だから、きっと災害にはならないようにしているのだろう、imagine。

群馬県は「山の国」である。長野県のように高い山がたくさんあるわけではないが、谷は深く、険しい山が多い。その独特の地形と風の向きとの関係が、多く雷を発生させる理由だと思う。
　「騎馬民族説」の中だったか、詳しいことは忘れてしまったが、群馬は騎馬民族系の人が多く土着していた地で、そこに住む人々の毛は長く（上毛、両毛など “毛” が着く地域名が多い）、他とは違っていたという記述を読んだ記憶がある。
　高崎の群馬県立博物館にある、同県出土の埴輪などを見ると、他より格段に高い造形レベルを持っていたことに驚かされる。そうした極めて優れた技術力をもった人々が、なぜ山に籠るかのように暮らすようになったのか、明治以後なら絹製品との深い関係がありそうと予想はするが、それ以前の暮らしについて、もっと知りたくなりますね。

左には三日月が落ちかかっています。あと１時間もすれば沈むところです。

Do you know the fruit called "Pawpaw"? Because not many people know about it、Fewer people have ever eaten it.。Of course you don't know、 It is also said to be a “mythical fruit.”。This is the third time I've had that "illusion".、I completely forgot what it tasted like。I received this from Mr. S from the painting class who said he made it in his home garden.。

Most importantly, the scent is unique.。Essential oil from this tree type、I can also understand collecting perfume oil.。When you try to express it in words、It is difficult because there are not many similar examples.。The scent alone gives me a slightly sour image.、When you eat it, there is only a slight sour taste.。moderately sweet、With a sticky and rich texture、I'd rather be surprised。

Origin: Eastern North America。A tree or vine of the genus Asimina in the order Magnoliaceae and family Annonaceae.、Most grow in subtropical to tropical regions.。There are very few species that grow in temperate zones like pawpaws (6 species).。There are many types of plants belonging to the Annonaceae family (approximately 2,400 species in 110 genera).、Especially in Southeast Asia, trees are the main component of jungles (from Wikipedia)。
It was imported to Japan as an ornamental around 1890.、It is said that in the early Showa era, it became a big boom because it was easy to grow (possibly also for food).。If you look at photos of cultivation, you will see that the fruit is similar to that of Akebia (the shape of the fruit is also similar).。It seems that there are some regions where it is called akebigaki.)。Currently, the main production areas are Ehime and Ibaraki prefectures.。Indeed yesterday (9/16)、I went to the roadside station in Goka Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, and they were selling it! ! Some people bought nearly 10 packs.。It's a bit of a taste that I'm not used to eating.、I guess there are some people who are into it the other way around.。
The pop had "Forest Custard Cream" on it.。In terms of my texture、It tastes like a mix of avocado and pudding.、Or I think it would be more similar to say it's a mix of mango and pudding.。Pawpaws are native to North America、The texture is definitely tropical fruit like many of its friends! I think it has high nutritional value as well.。

Why did this become a “phantom”?、The skin is very thin and soft、Because it is easily damaged。This seems to be a common feature of this family.、Just touching the fruit will hurt you.、peels easily、It turned dark、Before it's displayed in a store, its beauty is ruined.。Therefore, importing and exporting is difficult worldwide.、It seems that the reason why it became “phantom” is not because of the taste.。
I love avocado、I only started eating it recently.。I just watched it and didn't touch it.。that、At first, I didn't like the feel of biting into soft stone mackerel.、At some point、I fell in love with avocado rolls after eating them at a sushi restaurant.。Pawpaw was also skeptical at first.。1The second time、Is it something like this? ?。2The second time、Ugh、I think our tastes are divided、It was like that。
What about the third time? still、I can't say that I love it、Also、I think I'll try other ways to eat it if I have a chance.。Actually, he may have given it to me as “material for sketching”.。But、The shape is too simple、I thought it was a little difficult to draw。That's an excuse。

It's too late no matter what you do。No matter how quickly you try、I just feel anxious、I don't fully understand the purpose, goal, or method.、The speed for that is also slow.、People's backs just keep getting farther apart。Is it a dream or reality?、I just feel like that。It's not because of autumn。

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.、I guess everyone doesn't want to say it out loud.。That thought only accelerates my mood.。

can't stop。Last time I wrote about "me time" in "Take your time"。I wrote this in a somewhat positive mood, but、When I suddenly looked at my feet, I realized that there was no ground at all.。I don't know where I stand。what I have、What can change this situation?。I feel like I don't have anything。Did you lose it?、Or did you not have it from the beginning?。
