Lace flowers were in full bloom.。on both sides of the road、Around the house too。The vacant land is like a field where seeds have been sown.、It was blooming。It's a weed in Shimokita (especially in Higashidori village) at this time of year.、I didn't notice it until this time。I have not returned to Shimokita during this season for many years.、It was a feeling that was beautifully questioned.。I think it has increased rapidly in the last few years since I was away.。

There were so many laceflowres. Along every roads, surrounding the houses. It comes out in every vacant lots as a seeded fields. This flower is as typical one in Shimokita (especialy Higashi-dori villg) now, however I had not found it before. I felt it criticized me beautifully for not coming back home land for long time in this season. It may be planted for last few years and then reproduces rapidly, I think.

"Lace flower" is a generic term。Several types of lace flowers were confirmed locally.。All are basically flowers of the Apiaceae family.、color、shape、With or without thorns on the stem, etc.、There are considerable changes。In the city now、It seems to be surprisingly popular。When I looked into it、color is white、pink、blue、black、It seems that things with a purplish color are being cultivated.。Prices seem to range from around 90 yen to nearly 400 yen.。If each flower costs 100 yen and there are 10 million flowers blooming in the village.、10A billion yen worth of treasure is just floating in the wind.。Even if you say it's a waste, it won't start。We are blown by the Shimokita wind together.、This may be the most correct way to deal with it.。

“Laceflower” is the generic name of some kind of lacy flowers. I find it away. It has several variations on colors, shapes, prickles etc, although basicaly beongs to umbelliferae. In this time it looks popular in a city. It has been planted white ones, pink, blue, black! in many fields. These Prices are about from 90 to 400 yen per each. If it may be sold 100 yen as well, and 10 milion ones in this village, so it makes 100 milion yen. It just waves everywhere by free. But it is just a calculation. In a sense, it may be the best way that you just receive the wind in Shimokita with these laceflowers.

 

 

ほぼ2カ月ぶりの報告です。忙しさや体調不良等いろいろあって、どうにもできませんでした。コメント下さった方、Thank you very much。

Thank you very much for your coments. I couldn’t afford to have the time to uplord for two months.

８月10日から23日まで実家のある下北半島・東通村へ、父の新盆と母の見舞いに行ってきました。ついでに数十枚の簡単なスケッチもしてきました。それらはいずれ公開したいと思います。

I had been staying Higashi-dori village in Shimokita peninsula about two weeks from August 10 to 23, to hold a Buddist memorial service for my deceased father. In Japan, the term from August 13 to 16 is called “Obon”, is held a Buddist celemony for each famirial ancestors every year. I took care of my mother there and I sketched some decades of paper in landscape at the same time. I’ d like to show my drawings after now.

東通村は本州最北東端の尻屋崎を含む、いわゆるマサカリ半島の柄の東側からてっぺんまでの、青森県で２番目に広い村。「ヤマセ」と呼ばれる、海の湿気を大量に含んだ東風が低い丘陵に当たって渦を巻き、霧を発生させて日光を遮る。そのため恒常的に日射不足となり気候は青森県内でも特に冷涼な地域である。県内の各地よりむしろ北海道・渡島桧山地方に近い気候で、夏でも最高気温が30度を越えることはあまりない。逆に20度を下回ることはままある。

That village where is tha top of North-east of Hon-shu island, is the second largest village in Aomori pref. This is in microthermal climate zone. There is the east wind in summer called famous “Yamase” which is included large dame air from the sea. It makes fog which cover there and block off the sunlight. This climete is similar to east side of Hokkaido island’s rather than other place in Aomori pref. It isn’t often over 30℃ high but it is sometimes under 20℃ in summer.

このような、北海道とは津軽海峡にて隔てられ、かつ海岸冷涼湿地帯という特殊な環境による、独特の動植物の生態が見られる。スケッチをしていると、そういうことに敏感になる。例えば上の写真は高さ200メートルを越える断崖で、ハヤブサの数つがいの営巣が見られる。また鷹の仲間であるノスリやミサゴも近くに生息する。写真下は近くの断崖上の植物群。いわゆる高山植物が、ここでは海抜０ｍから見られるのである。（もう少し詳しい情報は東通村・老部（おいぺ）、ノーザンホテルまで）

In addition, here is separated from Hokkaido with Tsugaru channel, so we can see several distinctive kind of plants, animals and the ecology of them. Durling the sketch, I felt it repeatedly. Some couple of falcon nest in over 200 or 300 meters bluff (photo above). It is easily to see some other kind of howks, for example common buzzerd and osprey etc. You can find many alpine plants at seaside also.
