Rokkasho-mura, Aomori Prefecture Kamikita county

I rushed home after hearing about my father's subarachnoid hemorrhage.、A photo taken from the car at that time。The photo was taken on Wednesday, August 17th at around 11am.。It's a weekday。

There is a sign for the Rokkasho Village Local Museum.。There are no exhibits worthy of public display in this fine facility.。Rokkasho Village is currently attracting the most attention (it will probably get even more attention as restoration progresses).、This is a village where there is a nuclear waste reprocessing facility (Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd.)。If you accept such a (dangerous) facility、The government and a coalition of nuclear power-related companies could easily build a facility like this.、First and foremost, we are appealing to local people.。

this is my parents' house、The situation is exactly the same in Higashidori Village.。Oma Town, famous for its tuna, is no different.。No matter how famous、There is no way the town can cover its finances with several tons of giant tuna per year.。Basically, none of this would be possible without nuclear power.、There is no industry-like industry.、They are all poor towns and villages.。

According to national statistics、The average annual income in Rokkasho Village is 15.2 million yen (2010)。According to the most recent simple statistics, it is 13.366 million yen (2011).。For comparison,、Tokyo 5.997 million yen (2008, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare statistics)、Saitama prefecture 4.735 million yen (2008、Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare)。It is clear that Rokkasho Village has an exceptionally rich economic base.。I will omit the details, but、The reason is that this is essentially Japan's only nuclear waste dump.。

All over Japan、There is an image survey for each prefecture (I forget the date of the survey)。Although it is an image, it does not necessarily capture the current reality.、In other words, it is a synthesis of the past, present, and future.、It may be said that it captures a more macroscopic reality.。According to the survey, Hokkaido has a European image.、Overall, it seemed to be viewed positively (although the reality is quite harsh in every sense).。Iwate Prefecture has a strong image of Kenji Miyazawa.、poor but bright、intelligent and positive evaluation。In contrast, Aomori Prefecture has a dark image.、ends of the earth、I had a strong negative impression of being poor and gloomy.。In terms of people, it's the blind shamisen master Takeyama Takahashi.、Osamu Dazai、Shuji Terayama、Even if I think of Norio Nagayama, the serial pistol shooter, etc.、A bright and healthy positive image does not appear at all.。

Even though we are poor, instead of helping each other, we hold each other back、Being drunk is a curse on people、curse the world、In the end, he dies of a stroke or hanging.。It seems that Aomori Prefecture's national character is similar to that.、I am also disgusted with this culture.、I feel like I was 18 and left Shimokita with the feeling that I would never return.。At Ueno Station, ``Brother。I'll never forget when a day laborer called out to me and said, ``There's a place to work.''。That kind of atmosphere must have been seeping out of my whole body.。

Then think about the meaning of Rokkasho Village's 15.2 million yen.。It's good to be rich、I don't really feel like that.。Something must have compensated for the 15.2 million yen.。When purchasing land for a facility、This is a village where people even murdered people over untimely money.。Until then, cows and people lived together.、It was a poor and cold village、Two old men built a number of palaces with over 50 rooms (not to my taste).。Even to my junior high school student eyes, the cowshed was more beautiful than those palaces.、Cows were not an option with nuclear fuel.。

As far as the reports go、The actual situation in Fukushima is very similar to Aomori Prefecture.。The accident、It happened to happen in Fukushima prefecture.、That is Aomori prefecture、Niigata prefecture、Even in Oita prefecture、I wouldn't be surprised if it happened anywhere else.。It was cities and industrial areas that needed nuclear power plants.。No matter how ``safe'' it is, ``I'm too scared to stand in such a place.''。but、For some reason, if you build it in the countryside, it will be ``absolutely safe.''。Money certainly speaks volumes.。Or keep your mouth shut。No matter who lives there, it is impossible to say goodbye to 15.2 million yen.。

From my hometown rich in nature、We chose to live in an economically affluent city.。Most people who say they love nature、This is based on the premise of living in a rich and convenient city.。Although politics began to call for an end to dependence on nuclear power,、There is already a feeling of slowness due to the reaction from various countries.。unreliable politics、unreliable adults。The reality of children in Fukushima who have left their hometowns with no destination to return to is、Isn't it spreading across the country in other ways?。this country、The current status of being an “economic superpower” until recent years is、Actually, it's still dirty with mud.、Wasn't he still barefoot?

Drive to a nearby market focused on agricultural products、Winter melon or something for the lecture、I went out to see if there was anything I could use as a still life motif.。

There are some stalls outside、At first there was a (junk) antique-style shop.。I didn't think it was particularly good, but、This is something that caught my eye somehow。A small ceramic product about 10 cm in height.、There are two other similar ones、While I was looking at it for just a few minutes, a staff member started talking to me.。I was a little wary because when I heard the story, I ended up buying it.、I told myself that I had no intention of buying it.、I decided to listen to the story。

The one with the stamp “made in occupied japan” on the back、Five years from 1945 to 1947、As occupied Japan、In other words, only during the period when the country called Japan was lost.、Indicates that it was required to be displayed on products for export (Wikipedia)。On April 28, 1952, the San Francisco Peace Treaty entered into force between Japan and the occupying power.、Since then, Japan has regained its sovereignty.、It seems that it is now possible to display "made in Japan".。In other words, this is an export product from the time when Japan was no longer Japan.、This time, it was returned to Japan as an antique.。The result itself is not that great.、5Because there is a yearly limit、Apparently there are quite a few collectors in America.。

If you ask me that、The image of the painting suddenly came to mind.。This is bad! When I asked him the price, he said it would be cheaper.。It's getting worse! I ended up buying all three.。But since I bought three for the original price of one, I felt like I got a good deal.。My wife said, ``I wonder how much it costs.。Because I lowered it quickly、I'm sure he's lowered his voice one more time," he said, looking disappointed.、I didn't feel like replying anymore。 2011/9/11

やはり船はいい

I feel like I saw the sea a little bit for the first time in a while.。When I went to Shimokita about half a month ago, I drove along the coastline.、I looked at the ocean every day, but it never felt like it.。I didn't have the luxury of doing that because of my father's arachnoid condition.。I started to feel calmer so I decided to go sketching.。

The location was decided to be Tokyo, which also served as a preview for the upcoming sketch event.。The ship science museum will be closed at the end of this month with no plans to reopen, so this is the main thing.、I went out with the intention of sketching if time allowed.。

The photo is moored there、View from the bridge of the Antarctic research vessel "Soya" which is open to the public。Facing the front is the Fisheries Agency ship (Tokomaru)。What spreads out in the back is probably the waterway to Tokyo Port.。The opposite shore is packed with containers and container ships.。The lift for cargo handling is standing stiffly.。This kind of scenery probably isn't suitable for Soya, but I can't help it.。Thanks to this, I was able to actually see the ship that I remember seeing in books when I was a child (maybe it was just a memory from the images on TV).。

but、According to records, Soya was originally commissioned as a cargo ship by the former Soviet Union.、Because the ship entered service in 1938 as a private small cargo ship "Jiryo Maru" due to changes in the international situation.、In fact, perhaps it should be said that the landscape has returned to its original state.。

Jiryomaru soon became a special naval ship and was renamed ``Soya.''。Measurement、take on transport duties。After the war, a salvage ship、After being used as a lighthouse supply ship for the Japan Coast Guard、1956It was converted into an Antarctic research vessel in 2013.。Even at that point, it was already a pretty dilapidated ship.。The story behind it is interesting too.、When you actually look at this (really) small ship of about 2,700 tons at most,、This was sent off as the first international Antarctic research vessel.、I can't help but feel the strangeness and sadness of this country called Japan.。Although it was just after the war、Isn't it almost like a special attack team?。on the other hand、The members' sparkling curiosity and youth helped them overcome this problem.、I can still feel great empathy.。

Antarctic exploration only brings to mind the image of a frigid silver world.、Actually, we pass the equator on the way.、Apparently it was difficult to deal with the intense heat.。It is also because of the history that it was first built as a Soviet ice-ocean cargo ship.、It turns out that the ship was not designed with any consideration for the heat.。The sled puller who was brought along for the ride、A shaggy brown dog, etc.、I think I was able to get him to the South Pole without dying.。Taro、The real pain of Giro、I imagined that it was actually in the Indian Ocean rather than Antarctica.。

The ship has a beautiful shape, but、Its history also has an indescribably deep (human) flavor.。sinking、People are drawn to ships even after they are dismantled.、Maybe it's because there's a novel-like charm to it.。
