Snapshot No. 630-634
634. Don-guri
The season of don-guri (acorns) has come.
The photo shows a ko-nara tree at a nearby square.
The word, acorn, reminds me of the acorn storages found in the archaeological remain of the late Joumon period (4,000 - 3,000 years ago), which is located about 1 km away from my place.
The right is the explanation at that site.
Two photos are connected together.
It says;
Many cylindrical holes to preserve acorns.
Hole diameter 1 to 2 m, depth 1.7 m.
Namely the acorns were stored in such large holes sufficient to fully cover the human.
When I see acorns, I feel a kind of fond memory. This is probaly because those memories of thousands of years ago come to revive in our mind.
633. Still fine
The rindou flowers posted here 3 weeks ago are still sound.
Re-arrangement by XYL.
632. A paddle boat
A paddle-wheel boat at the Inba marsh.
The word of paddle wheelers only reminds us of the boats at the age of Perry's black-hull steamers, or at present, sightseeing boats.
However, this old style makes sense as the ordinary screw propellers are not very suitable for the boats to remove aquatic plants at shallow waters.
631. The first red leaves
The tree which leaves turn red first in this area is this hana-mizuki (dogwood) or amerika yama-bousi. At a nearby street this morning.
As in the photo, tiny berries already red are sparsely seen.
Those seen many like white onion-head are the flower bud for the next year.
630. Sengoku Cup
The final game of the Tennou Cup which, in the past, had been held on the new-year day, January 1st, was held today.
The photo from NHK TV.
The winner is J2 "Fuu-Rin-Ka-Zan#1 Koufu". Its journey to this game has been fairly dramatic.
Since the start of the J league, the positioning of the Tennou Cup has got obscured.
BUT, if we redefine this tournament as the one which gives the same chance to amateur teams as well as J's lower clubs, its positioning can have a different and positive meaning.
Reposition it as a game promoting "the world of Sengoku and Gekokujyou" (warring states and inverting social order). Thus its name "Sengoku Cup".
#1: Fuu-Rin-Ka-Zan
A banner used at the 16th century battle fields by the warlord of Kai Province, TAKEDA Singen.
The following shows how it looks like, with a brief explanation.
