恭仁（くに）宮跡のある村に　The imperial capital was abandoned after just a few years.

The most famous in Japan are Heijo-kyo in Nara and Heian-kyo in Kyoto.(8th century) However, there was a brief period during the Heijo-kyo era when the capital was moved to Naniwa-kyo (Osaka City), Kuni-kyo (Kizugawa City), and other locations, and imperial palaces were located there. I sometimes walk with my dog in the place where the capital was located for several years(740AD-744AD).Nowadays, there is no trace of what it was like back then, and there are very few people you can meet. 　Today was a cold winter afternoon with light rain, but regardless of the weather, we can always have a relaxing time.　#iPhone12 mini

Autumn scenery in Japan that remains in my distant memory　遠い記憶の中の秋風景

When exactly did aluminum cans begin to be used in fields to scare away birds?　　　　When did we start to feel autumn by looking at yellow cosmos, an invasive species?　　　The autumn landscape in Japan has changed a lot, but the autumn I remember from my childhood is exactly the same as it was decades ago.　　　#Panasonic LUMIX GF10 / 20mm f1.7 JPEG SOOC

Walking with my dog along the old highway, which is now less traveled.　/　下狭川(笠置街道)

　　There isn't anything particularly interesting to see on this deserted country road.　　　　However, it is a walking path where my elderly dog and I don't have to worry about anything.　　　Old roads are a mixture of the homes and fields of people living today, structures that are no longer functioning, and ruins.　　　　　When I walk down a simple country road, I feel like the passage of time is like a vine intertwined with each other.

絵にも描けない・・・Amazing technology is working somewhere without sound or appearance.

A few decades ago, most of the "cutting-edge'' products were huge, made loud noises, and moved dynamically. Today's cutting-edge technology has no size or shape. We are now in an era where the exaggerated onomatopoeia that was used when drawn in manga is no longer necessary. Old hydropower plant / Ricoh GR3

Visit the valley of Mr. Nagatani　永谷宗家の谷を訪ねる

Visit the valley of Mr. Nagatani, who established the manufacturing method of beautiful and delicious green tea. Among Japanese teas, green tea, which has a green color, is particularly famous overseas. Until a certain time, Japanese people drank tea that was dark brown instead of green. If the tea leaves are stored as they are, the taste will change due to oxidation and become bad. Heat treatment is used to avoid this, but the treatment in the old days greatly damaged the color and flavor of the tea. After many years of research, Mr. Nagatani has developed a method for producing "SENCHA" , a green tea rich in beauty and flavor. It's the middle of the 18th century. ＃Ricoh GR3 / Kyoto pref.

Blue dragon "SAHO-GAWA river / Nara city,Japan

Heijokyo (平城京 Nara pref.) was the capital of Japan in the 8th century. At that time, the Saho River (佐保川) was called the Blue Dragon, which swam the east side of the capital. A blue dragon that continues to swim in almost the same place even after more than 1300 years. If we could have a conversation with him, it would have many very interesting stories for us at the moment.#LUMIX GF10

石積みの町「坂本」その２(2/2)　／A town with 500-year-old stone walls　"Sakamoto"　（滋賀県大津市）

For example, when I stroll through the ruins of 20th century towns and buildings, feelings of 'pathetic' and 'defeated' arise. In Japanese classics, expressions such as "the traces of the dream world that the warriors of the old days tried to build'' can be found. Perhaps the ancients also felt the same feeling as I did, standing in the ruins of the city that boasted prosperity in ancient times. 　 However, the stone steps and stone walls of "Sakamoto" are alive in modern life while retaining the vestiges of those days. 　The raison d'etre of masonry today may be different from what was planned at the time they were built. Alternatively, they may have already lost their purpose today and serve only as landscapes. They continue to be used and blend into our modern lives.Therefore, they are not ruins in a space where time has stopped. When you touch a stone sculpture, you feel cold, but over a long period of time, it seems to accumulate something like warmth.Attention: This translation is done by Google Translate.

石積みの町「坂本」その１(1/2)　／A town with 500-year-old stone walls　"Sakamoto"　（滋賀県大津市）

In the 16th century in Japan, a large number of powerful rulers were competing for power, and territorial battles continued in various places. Based in "Sakamoto" west of Lake Biwa, "Anoshu" is a special skill group of masonry. 　Its advanced masonry techniques were appreciated by the feudal lords of the time who sought robust and high stone walls. 　And the strong stone walls that they built still remain in various places even after nearly 500 years.　I can feel the hands of people hundreds of years ago in each stone of the stone walls and stone Buddhas.　I like to take a walk while imagining the times when this quiet town was bustling with many craftsmen.　I don't think people at the time could have imagined what it would be like hundreds of years later, but their activities definitely have an impact on us today.　As I stroll through this stone town on a quiet spring day, I feel a sense of respect and appreciation for them.　Attention: This translation is done by Google Translate.

爺さんたちの思い出話し　Memories of Grandfathers

Looking at old, rusty, dusty machines, I can almost hear the loud, powerful sounds and hustle and bustle of the people working around them. Once upon a time, old machines had a mission. Now, among the roadside flowers and gentle sunshine, they seem to be quietly recalling the events of "that day" one by one.　　　Ricoh GR3

土倉鉱山　選鉱場跡／長浜市木本町

産業遺産などの検索をしていてたまたま見つけた長浜市（滋賀県）の鉱山跡に行ってみた。以前、神子畑選鉱場跡（みこばたせんこうじょうあと：兵庫県朝来市）を掲載したが、こちらは滋賀県の銅鉱の選鉱場だ。↑山の中であるが、車かバイクなら比較的大きな国道で近くまで来ることができる。↑手前に大きな管の口が見えるが、この中を覗き込むと２，３０匹のコウモリが天井からぶら下がっている。動物園以外で洞にぶら下がるコウモリを見たのはお初だろうか。上部を覆う屋根や建屋がなくなっているので分かりにくいが、居住ではなく選鉱という作業を行う工場の構造物跡だ。選鉱場は、斜面に作られて上部層から各層順に選鉱を行い、鉱物を選別していく。Googleマップ最下層にあたる道路から全貌を把握することは難しいが、WEB NAGAHAMAというサイトにドローンで空撮した動画がアップされている。これを見ると全体像が把握しやすい・・・ドローンには勝てない。遺構は風化が進み、立ち入らない方が安全だ。というか立入禁止の札が立っていた。（汗）構造物に乗ったりくぐったりすると崩壊する可能性もありそうだ。この時期夏草が多い茂っているが、全体像をもっとよく見たいなら（雪がなければ）真冬の方が見やすいかもしれない。別の季節に撮られた写真を見ると、中間層のコンクリート柱の並びなど構造物がよく写っている。先ほどのNAGAHAMA WEBによれば、最盛期（昭和30年代半ば）にはここに１５００名もの人が暮らしていたという。私は一時間半ほど滞在したが、だれにも会わずだれの声も今は聞こえない。こういう廃墟は、やたら心霊スポットにしたがる人もいるようだ。それに乗せられて訳も分からず恐れるよりも、お化けじゃなく当時の様子を想像してみてほしい。先ほどの遺構から道を上っていく。左手には清流の音、右手の山には石垣や水路の後などが草木に埋もれている。２００ｍほど行くと、坑道の出口だろうか。こんな遺構もある。もう２キロほど登って、当時の名残を探していたいものだが、気温３３℃、湿度８０％に近い残暑は老人の足を引き留める。

松江藩松平家9代の墓所　月照寺／島根県松江市

Lord's TombGessho-ji Temple (Matsue City) has been the graveyard of the Matsudaira family for nine generations since the first feudal lord, Naomasa Matsudaira, was enshrined in 1664 AD.It seems that the devastation caused by the wind and rain is progressing. However, the precincts of the temple still retain the atmosphere of those days, and the environment is quiet and calm, so it is an ancient temple where you can fully appreciate the atmosphere of the past.Ricoh GR3

洋学者のブロンズ像　宇田川榕菴（うだがわようあん、1798 - 1846）

津山洋楽資料館の庭にある宇田川榕菴（うだがわようあん）さんのブロンズ像Many of the things we take for granted that everyone knows today were unknown to anyone 100 years ago, or even 10 years ago. I have a great deal of respect for the great men of the past who bravely stepped into the darkness where they lacked not only knowledge but even concepts.津山市を中心とする美作地方（岡山県北東部）にあって、医学・科学・植物学などをリードした「津山洋学五峰」（宇田川玄随・宇田川玄真・宇田川榕菴・箕作阮甫・箕作秋坪）の像宇田川榕菴は、我々に分かりやすいところでは、科学で一般的になっている用語（酸素、水素、窒素、炭素、白金、元素、金属、酸化、還元、溶解、試薬、細胞、属、圧力、温度、結晶、沸騰、蒸気、分析、成分、物質、法則・・・）などの造語を行っています。これら彼の造語に気が休まらない人も「珈琲」という言葉を見ると、ホッと一息つけるかもしれません。先人たちの努力と功績に感謝です。

作成者が意図しなかったモノの価値

New products have new added value and have a useful life in which they can be used. Antique miscellaneous goods have almost lost their commercial value. Worn-out value, useless value, value given by an old-fashioned impression. Time seems to create value that the creator of the product did not intend.Ricoh GR3

アナログ電波が去った寂しい中短波帯(MW/SW)

When I was young, the sky was full of analog radio waves. I was chasing the weak voices I heard on the radio that seemed to disappear due to noise and fading.Nowadays, huge information that is incomparable to the analog era is exchanged by digital communication, especially at high frequencies.The medium and short wave bands, where international broadcasting was once lively, have become much quieter. From what I hear, many AM radio stations in Japan will be closed in the next few years.Is it because of the nostalgia of the analog radio era? I dusted an old analog receiver (which I was planning to throw away as oversized trash) and plugged its power plug into the outlet ...

ものがずっと人の暮らしを見てきたように感じる時

Some people find the same thing exciting, while others find it unsatisfactory. "How the object is related to me" The presence is very different depending on how you feel.　However, machines and buildings that have finished their duties can be seen without such an estimate, so you can look at them with a calm feeling.Those who have stopped engaging with people are often overlooked that they are no longer there.　So many of them will disappear without anyone knowing, without receiving a farewell word.

恭仁京跡を歩く　（恭仁、加茂）　shrine

神社（恭仁、加茂）　shrine紀元700年の頃、この土地に天皇が住む都が移されることになったが、どういうわけかわずか5年で元の都（平城京/奈良市）へ戻ってしまった。今は静かな農村風景ばかりが広がる。Around 700 AD, the city where the emperor lived was to be relocated to this land, but for some reason it returned to the original city (Heijo-kyo / Nara City) in just five years. Nowadays, only quiet rural landscapes spread out.CAMERA:RICHO GR3
