徳島県美馬市の“うだつの町並み”です。時がゆっくりと流れ心が落ち着きます。澄み切った青空が古い町並みとの調和がとても美しいです。これからの春の季節のおすすめのスポットです。

This is the "Udatsu Townscape" in Mima City, Tokushima Prefecture. Time flows slowly here, and the soul is at peace. The clear blue sky blends beautifully with the old townscape. This is a recommended spot for the coming spring season.

徳島県美馬市にある「うだつの町並み」です。
旧家の屋根にある特徴的な“うだつ”は屋根と屋根の間にある小さな壁で火災の際に隣家からの燃え移りを防ぐ役目を持っています。
岐阜県美濃市の「うだつの上がる町並み」も思い出されます。

This is the "Udatsu Townscape" in Mima city, Tokushima prefecture.
The distinctive "udatsu" on the roofs of old houses are small walls between roofs that serve to prevent fires from spreading to neighboring houses in the event of a fire.
It also reminds me of the "Udatsu-lined Townscape" in Mino city, Gifu prefecture.

本日は立春ですね。生きていれば良い日も勉強になる日も誰しも必ずあり、実行したからこそ得られる勉強が大切だと受け入れられる自分は歳を重ねたのだと実感してます。この先世の中の価値観は変われど、チャレンジする若者への理解は捨てない人でありたいです。

Today is the beginning of spring. Everyone has good days and learning days in life, and I realize that I've grown old enough to accept that the learning that comes from taking action is important. Even if the world's values ​​change in the future, I want to remain understanding of young people who take on challenges.

実家の近くの神社での初詣。日本のどこでも見られる正月の風景です。毎年同じ雰囲気、同じ空気感が大切に思えます。

First visit of the year to a shrine near my parents' house. This is a New Year's scene that can be seen anywhere in Japan. I think it's important to have the same atmosphere and the same feeling every year.
