葡萄畑

今年の秋は、２度ほどワイン葡萄の収穫お手伝いに行ってきました。 毎年行ってる仁木のビンヤードと岩見沢の初めてのところ。 何でもそうですが、少しその内側（現場）に入り込むと、理解度が格段に深まりそうすると興味もより湧いてきます。 自分はお酒全般好きですが、ワインに限らず品名とかを覚えるのがものすごく苦手でして、その時は覚えてるのですが、お酒飲んでるのでそばからどんどん忘れてしまうという… 色々な味に出会いたいので、決してそれを残念に思っているわけではないのでこのままでいいのですが。 流石にお手伝いに行った畑のワインは興味が数段階高まります。 そのワインを飲むと作り手や畑が思い浮かび、その時の天気とかその品種の場所とか一緒に収穫手伝いした人とかも。 美味しいなぁ 笑 少し写真撮ってきたのでその記録を。

Hiya Papaya! 👋

Oh man Rascal Does not Dream of Santa Claus was goooood.

I think i've never read any volume as fast as this one. I was really hooked!

I loved the story through and through. The cliffhangers of each chapter were so so great that i couldn't keep it out of my hands for long!

And oh man do i love the new characters, that got introduced in this university arc, like Miori and Ikumi. Fukuyama grew a lot on me too and i hope we get more interactions coming the next volumes!

Speaking of...

I'm about to cry. I don't want it to end D:

MAJOR SPOILERS UNDER CUT

Now i wanna talk more about the story itself, so this is the last time to avoid spoilers.

I would've never thought that Touko Kirishima isn't actually THE Touko Kirishima and just a fake. Like the other hundreds of Santas who believed to be Touko Kirishima.

However, that makes me feel concerned. Nene Iwamizawa forget herself and tried to become Touko Kirishima. I'm concerned that being Touko Kirishima is a curse and she doesn't actually exist.

Even worse, if i can recall correctly, Iwamizawa told Sakuta that she gave Uzuki that gift after Uzuki got rid of her Adolescence Syndroms. So there might be someone or something who's the reason behind all these things.

I think that Miori could be a potential candidate for being the true Touko Kirishima, but i really hope that this isn't the case. I don't point my finger at her without reason. The biggest reason is that she is the other one who could see Iwamizawa. Furthermore, she did experience adolescence syndrome too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit: After re-reading pages 14 and 15 from the 10th book, Miori implies that she's still affected by it: [...] "Are you free of it?" "I think...it's still got me." "Any particular reason?" "I mean, I've yet to land a boyfriend." [...] Maybe we find that out in the next book? I want to point out another interesting excerpt (p. 14): [...] "Maybe only the two of us could see her." Miori dropped that bombshell without changing her tone of voice at all. "No way." "What,you've never heard of Adolescence Syndrome?" "......." When had he last heard that phrase? Long enough that he didn't react right away. "People can't see you, you can see the future, there are two of you- all kinds of symptoms." [...]

It's crazy to think that the first time where both of them talk about this is that same situation we got in this novel: Miori being able to see Nene too. In addition to her listing other symptoms, it really feels like foreshadowing. However, i really don't feel like that Miori got a motivation or good reasoning to be the one who gives out Adolescence Syndrome like presents aka Touko Kirishima. Maybe it's Manami ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So it might be possible, but i'd prefer someone new to make an appearance. We can also throw in Sakuta as a candidate for shits and giggles.

Still, i'm looking forward to the next book as we get to know if that #dreaming prophecy will become true. Let's hope that Mai doesn't cease to exist or rather become Touko Kirishima as she didn't have a dream (just like Iwamizawa). And i'm curious if the fact that Sakuta likely got a concussion comes back into play somehow.

Okiku the doll

In 1918 a young man bought this doll for his two year old sister. The sister and the doll became inseparable until her untimely death the following year. It was soon after the death that the family noticed the dolls hair getting longer.

Was 'Okiku' the doll inhabited by the spirit of their daughter?

Located in a little wooden box, on display in the Mannenji temple in the town of Iwamizawa, Hokkaido, Japan, stands a small, 40cm doll, which takes pride of place as part of a shrine.

This doll is no ordinary doll, as every year its hair needs to be trimmed, as it grows. The hair is allowed to grow till it hits knee length on the doll, then is trimmed back to just below shoulder length. Now I am not exactly an expert on such things, but I was always under the impression that a dolls hair does not grow.

The hair has been growing for at least the past 75 years, and it is from this that the shrine has become famous.

The doll was bought in Sapporo by a 17 year old Eikichi Suzuki in 1918, for his 2 year old sister Okiku. He was visiting the area for a marine exhibit, but upon seeing the doll in a shop window, he knew at once that the doll needed to be bought and given to his sister.

The doll stood about 40cms tall and was dressed in a traditional kimono. The hair was black and cut to about shoulder length, in a traditional style, and the eyes were piercing, like black beads pressed into the life-like flesh of the face.

When Eikichi returned home he presented the doll to his little sister, who fell in love with it immediately. The doll became Okiku's favourite toy and, it would seem, best friend.

Okiku played with her doll everyday, and soon gave it the same name as herself, 'Okiku'. The doll would never be out of Okiku's sight.

Unfortunately, in 1919, Okiku passed away after a severe fever. She was only three years old. The doll was to be buried along with Okiku, but due to some unforeseen circumstance, the doll was never placed with Okiku in her final resting place.

Okiku (the doll) was instead placed in the family’s altar, in commemoration of their daughter.

Sometime thereafter the Suzuki's noticed that the dolls hair was getting longer. It once had a traditional shoulder length cut with neat ends, but now the doll had hair reaching down towards the waist, and the ends were more random in length.

The family believed the spirit/soul of their daughter inhabited the doll.

In 1938 the family moved to another locality, but not wanting to take Okiku with them (possibly out of fear that the 'magic' of the doll was due to the proximity with their daughters resting place) they instead took it to the Mannenji Temple.

Here they informed the priest of the dolls hair, and the priest, over time, could confirm that the story was true, the hair did indeed grow. Periodically the hair would get a trim and soon photos of the doll with different lengths began to adorn the small shrine, dedicated to the Okiku the doll and Okiku the girls memory.

It has been said that upon analysis of a cut sample from the hair that it does indeed belong to that of a child, but since the sample was not cut directly from the doll itself, no definitive conclusion can be made.

En 1918, Eikichi Suzuki, un joven de apenas diecisiete años, compró una muñeca para su adorada hermana, Okiku. Esta muñeca no era un simple juguete, sino que se convirtió en un amuleto de cariño y compañía para la pequeña. Tan fuerte fue el lazo, que la niña decidió darle su propio nombre: Okiku.

Pero el destino fue cruel. Solo un año después, en 1919, Okiku falleció trágicamente de neumonía. En medio del dolor, la familia olvidó enterrar a la muñeca junto a su hija, como se había sugerido. En su lugar, construyeron un altar conmemorativo en honor a Okiku, colocando la muñeca en el centro.

Y aquí es donde la historia toma un giro extraordinario. La familia Suzuki comenzó a notar algo inexplicable: el cabello de la muñeca empezaba a crecer. Día tras día, su melena se alargaba, como si estuviera viva. Eikichi, antes de partir a cumplir con su servicio militar, llevó la muñeca al templo Mannenji, creyendo que el espíritu de su hermana había encontrado refugio en el juguete.

Los sacerdotes del templo confirmaron que el cabello era humano, perteneciente a una niña. Sin embargo, el misterio del por qué seguía creciendo nunca encontró respuesta. Hoy en día, la muñeca Okiku reside en una vitrina en el templo Mannenji, en la ciudad de Iwamizawa, Hokkaido. Su cabello sigue creciendo, y cada 21 del mes, se realiza una ceremonia especial para cortarlo.

Así, esta historia nos recuerda cómo el amor y el misterio pueden entrelazarse en las tradiciones y creencias de un pueblo, convirtiéndose en leyendas que perduran a través del tiempo

盆栽教室

今年も12月がやってきました。 いつもの１年を過ごせなかった２０２０年。 残り少しですが、もう少しblog更新しよう！と思います。 先月のはじめのこと、cagra教室の生徒さんと盆栽教室をやりました。 １６丁目に移ってからは初めての盆栽教室。苔ありのミニ盆栽です。 岩見沢を拠点に活躍されている草つ月の君島さんをお迎えして。 楽しい時間はあっという間で、それなりに集中してやっていたので写真をほぼ撮っていませんでした、残念。 それぞれあとで写真を送ってもらいました。 君島さんには盆栽に限らず毎回新しい発見をいただいて、とても良い経験です。 また来年も時期を見てやれたらいいな。
