3.11震災から5年経ったんだね。 宮城県気仙沼市で、東日本大震災の津波で海から約800メートル内陸に打ち上げられた大型漁船「第18共徳丸」海から内陸へ500mも内側だ。この船を目の前にして、改めて津波の怖さが伝わってきました。 長らく保存か解体か地元住民の方々で話し合われきたが、解体する事に決定したそうでs。この地域に住んでいない私が軽はずみな事は言えないが、解体される前にこの「第18共徳丸」の勇士を目に焼き付けておこうと思う。大海原で活躍したかっただろうね。力になれなくてごめんなさい。「第18共徳丸」お疲れさまでした。 In Kesen-numa city in Miyagi prefecture, a large fishing boat "18th Kyotoku-maru", which was hit about 800 meters inland from the ocean by tsunami of East Japan Great Quake, stays at as long as 500 meters inland from the ocean, I felt seriously how fearful the tsunami was when I saw this ship. The residents in the city had talked about if the ship was going to be held for a long time or destructed, and finally it was decided to be destructed. As I do not live on the spot, I cannot say unresponsibly, but I am going to see the heroic "18th Kyotoku-maru" before it is destructed. You wanted to sail in the ocean. I am sorry I was not helpful for you. Thank you for your long sail!

The Yamagata Hanagasa Festival is highlighted by the booming cries of "Yassho, Makasho" accompanied by the gallant sound of the Hanagasa Taiko drums and gorgeously decorated floats leading more than 10,000 dancers adorned in beautiful costume with Hanagasa flower hats through the main street of Yamagata city. In recent years, the 'Yamagata Hanagasa Festival' has been added to the big three festivals of Tohoku, as a fourth member representing the major festivals in Tohoku.It is said that more than one million people flock to the city during the term of the festival.

I wish peace in the world🙏 A photo posted by Shinjiro Ono (@marutaro) on Aug 6, 2013 at 7:51pm PDT宮城も 仙台七夕まつりだよ~。綺麗な飾り付けがたくさんあってすごいよね~。まるもお願いしたよ~(≧∇≦) This is a Tanabata event held in Sendai, the central city of the Tohoku District. Gorgeous decorations made with bamboo and Japanese paper called sasatake are put up in the arcades in front of Sendai Station and in all other parts of the city, in what appears to be a contest for beauty. Nowadays, Tanabata is generally celebrated as a national event on July 7th, but the Sendai Tanabata Matsuri is held in August in accordance with the lunar calendar, which was used before the Meiji Restoration in 1868. Similar events are organized throughout the nation, but the festival held here is the most famous of all. Unique to Sendai are the Seven Ornaments, which embody prayers for progress in studies or calligraphy, the wellbeing of one's family, good health and longevity, prosperous business, a large catch and a rich harvest. They consist of colored paper in rectangular strips, kimono made of Japanese paper, cranes made by folding square paper, drawstring pouches made of paper, cast nets made of paper, waste baskets made of paper and streamers made of colored paper shaped into rings and joined in chains, or shaped like the brush of a broom. #maru_the_movie A video posted by Shinjiro Ono (@marutaro) on Aug 6, 2013 at 7:23pm PDT 山形最高(≧∇≦)I love MATSURI!!
