両国国技館前にて

総武線と相撲のぼり。

カラフルで見ているだけで楽しくなりますが、

力士の名前は黒星を避けるため黒は使わず

送り主の名前はスポンサーが赤字にならないように

赤文字は使わないそうです。

 

(総武線/両国駅付近)

 

I took photos of the Sōbu Line and Rikishi Flags in front of Ryogoku Kokugikan.
They are very colorful so we excite just looking at that.
I heard, believed in omens, they don't use black ink to write name of Rikishi 

to avoid Kuroboshi and red ink to write name of sponsors to avoid Akaji.
(Kuroboshi is "黒星(black star)" which means defect in Japanese.)
(Akaji is "赤字(red letters)" which means deficit in Japanese.)

天浜線名物の浜名湖佐久米駅の

ゆりかもめちゃん。

おじさんが餌付けしているのですが、

これだけ集まると圧巻です。

ゆりかもめちゃんたちは、

春になり暖かくなると、シベリアに帰ります。

They are hooded gulls which marks HAMANAKOSAKUME station of Tenhama Line.
This scene is beyond a doubt the best part, isn't it?
A man began to feed these gulls and made this scenery before we knew it.
They go back to Sibirskey when it became warm in Spring.

最後は圧巻の利尻富士。

険しい山容が旅情を誘います。

颯爽と走り抜けるのは

宗谷本線のラッセル車。

まだまだ日本にも

こんな絶景があるんだなぁと

誇らしくなる風景です。

 

(宗谷本線/徳満〜兜沼)


The last picture is Mt Rishiri Fuji which has overwhelming view.
The rough shape of the mountain touches my travelar's emotion.
It is a snowplow of Soya Honsen that dashingly run across in front of me.
We can see the superb view such as this still now in Japan.
I proud it.
