お盆用「過去」住宅地図

A map that matches my memory

It's Obon。It's probably similar in any rural area.、These past few days have not only been filled with souls from the afterlife.、Bringing together people who usually live far away、It will be like a “joint memorial service”。It's also class reunion season。

Visiting relatives' homes during the Obon period、It is customary to place incense sticks on the Buddhist altar.。Because sometimes we go wrong、There is usually someone at home。My role is to stay at home。Because I don't remember which relatives' houses I should visit.、suitable for the role。The trouble is、I know the face of the person who comes to burn incense.、exact personal name and、What kind of relationship do you have with my family?、That's something I don't really understand。Most of their faces are of the late elderly.、I'll have a young person "carry" me along the route by car.、I don't have time to talk。

The purpose is also to get my mother to talk.、That's why I do some studying for Obon.。ask about in-law relationships、ask about your occupation、Draw a map of the houses of the time。Not only can you understand the social situation at the time, but、I wonder how stupid I was (and still am)、I can understand it well by the way。

8/10 7:00 It's a little sunny this morning。22It looks like it will be warm until about °。

ガダ

ガダ（ギンポ=銀宝） 美味

“Gada、"Have you ever poked me?" he suddenly asked.、my mother asked me。"do not have。I have also caught、I've eaten it before、"I've never gone out at night," I replied.、"That's delicious," he said.。When my mother was a daughter, she and her sister、taken by relatives、Apparently he has gone out at night several times.。night when the tide is low、A stick with hooks that stirs the rock and drives out fish.、Holding an acetylene lamp to illuminate my feet、Gada fishing involves poking gada with a thin two-pronged spear (harpoon).。A girl in the upper grades of elementary school to junior high school is on the beach at night.、The image of a fish making a playful noise as it pokes a fish with a harpoon could be made into a manga.。of course、It's not usually women's fishing.。Like a mother who was full of curiosity.、It's a good episode。

What is Gada?、Eels and moray eels、Local name for a fish that looks like it has been compressed vertically into a smaller size (approximately 5 cm wide and 30 cm long)。The standard Japanese name is "Ginpo"。From southern Hokkaido to northern Kyushu、Up to Nagasaki prefecture、live around the seashore。Once dry、Grill it quickly、boiled、Very delicious when eaten as the core of kelp rolls。Because they cannot be caught in large quantities、It is almost never seen in urban markets.。

I'm bedridden but、memory is good、Dementia is not very advanced。Conversation (with dentures removed)、I'm a little hard of hearing、(Sometimes it's hard to understand because of the dialect, but it's not a problem.)。It's already been 8 months with just the IV drip.。I'd like to hear from you while you're still feeling well.、I think it's my mission。

Arrival at Shimokita。cool…!

今夜は布団をかけて寝るー毛布も準備してある

8/8 2pm、I'm in Shimokita/Higashidori Village.。I'm glad I was able to leave before the typhoon approached the Kanto region.。Maximum temperature 17°~18°。As expected。It's cold outside。

It seems like a lie that I was living in the heat every day.。Being in Kanto、The news is all about ``dangerous heat'' nationwide.、The Japanese archipelago is large。Even just the temperature makes such a difference。Today is also 41° in Mino City, Gifu Prefecture.、The temperature was also reported to be 40.5° in Kanayama City, Gifu Prefecture.。

20Plan to stay until。I have time、It's cool so I think I'll be able to draw a lot、Visiting my bedridden mother、Unfortunately that is not the case。Squishy would be the best。I just want to do my best where I can.。

Waiting for the train at Omiya Station Shinkansen platform、1A feathered pigeon landed right at my feet.。I was scared that I was about to be stepped on.、If you look closely, you can see fingers on both legs. There are almost no。Humans only have the heel and the top of the foot.。The little kids are chasing me、It immediately flew away before I could take a photo.、For a while after departure、I was thinking about why I lost my finger.。
