日本のひなた・宮崎県で自然のパワーを感じる旅〈旅人・櫻井淳子〉
If you come to Junko Sakurai’s Takachiho Journey in Miyazaki Prefecture, you must visit Amanoiwa Shrine. Hello , this is the stage of Amanoiwa God, which was depicted in early Japanese paintings, and this shrine was built on the legendary site where Amaterasu, who was hiding in a cave, was summoned out by the Rain Plum Dance. Nice to meet you, I’m Sakurako, my name is Sato, nice to meet you, Mr. Sato , I feel romantic to be able to stand on the stage of a myth. But the atmosphere changes somehow. It ‘s around here. The atmosphere suddenly changed from around here. It feels like you can hear the voices of all the gods. From here, the atmosphere is completely different. This is the place where the gods in this large cave thought about how to get Amaterasu Oomikami to come out. [Music] Yes, Amano . It is said that the gods who gathered here held a feast in front of the rock and came up with the idea of pulling the tree of Amaterasu to summon her. First of all, it has a pure atmosphere, I guess. Also, the sunlight is better in the morning, and since you enter the cave, the scenery is much more beautiful in the morning. I hope you can see it. The highlight of Japanese mythology, the opening of the rock, begins here. わい English: So this is that big cave, and because it’s a place where you can enter and worship with your friends, many people think that this cave itself is the abode of heaven. Yes, that’s right, a lot of people have the wrong idea, yes, more than 90% of people think that it is this, but we are heading to the Nishi-Hongu Shrine, where the Heavenly Rock of great desire that we would like to visit is enshrined. This is the Nishi-Hongu Shrine’s haden. The cave itself is the abode, so it is made only with haden. At the back, there is a place where you can directly pray to the Heavenly Rock, so I would like you to pray there. Yes, yes, we will perform a purification ritual. After purifying yourself, we head to the place where the sign is posted on the opposite bank. The depth is a little difficult to tell, but there are records that it is 9m deep and 18m wide. Well , when I entered, I felt a huge bang and it was a strange sensation, but this is where Amaterasu-ji Temple Daigosho hid, and if he comes out and hides once more, he will be back in the darkness again, so It is said in the legend that the god Futotama-sama said, “Please do not hide again,” and the cloak was tightened. It is a place where you can feel a lot of energy, and my head is full of that. I have been listening to it for a while, but I feel even more energy than that, so my eyes are inevitably drawn to it. I am now the 24th generation, and that place has always been called Kinhayasu during the Edo period when it was rainy, and no one had ever been there before. So, I started the shiji in 2013. At that time, the inside was cleaned up and the cloak was tightened, and it has become a place where it is very easy to worship. Ah, that’s right. I am happy that I can now worship a body that no one has been able to see for hundreds of years. I am truly grateful. [Music] Yes, thank you, thank you. [Music] Traditional performing arts that have been continued for 400 years in Takachiho, the village of Jinwa, are performed in Yokokura, Takao, every year from autumn to winter in each village. [Music] Let the bird Akito take it . [Music] At the Kagura train at Takajinja Shrine, you can see famous scenes from myths, such as the opening of the rock, all year round, and it is very popular with tourists. [Music] [Applause] [Music] I heard that in Takachiho there is a Kagura dish that is actually danced around at festivals.Hello, sorry. [Music] Tomorrow, sorry, hello, I heard that you’re having Kagura cuisine over here.Can I have some?It’s that old dish called Ikatori.Yes, this is really difficult.It ‘s been years since I’ve cut it diagonally.I don’t think I’ve ever done it before.It ‘s since crafts time.It would show how clumsy I am at school.Yes, it’s okay.Yes, yes, it’s made from a handmade container.The only thing that serves as a pot is the bamboo.Yes , it’s said that people in Takachiho have made these containers in their cages for mountain work since ancient times and used them for meals.The ingredients are chicken, chives, and shiitake mushrooms.It’s seasoned with soy sauce and sake. [Music] Yes, if you could drop it from there, yes, is there any reason why it’s made with bamboo?It’s just the bamboo, and there’s a mild flavor in the middle. That’s how it feels. Yes , it’s hot so be careful. Is it okay to eat it like this? Yes , yes, yes, it’s okay. Yes, it just came out like this. Oh, this is it. It’s like this. It’s been sitting there for 45 minutes. A nice smell is coming out. This is it. Yes, it’s done, so please share it. Yes, I’ll let it go. Wow, it looks beautiful . [Music] It makes me want to eat. Horse mackerel smells great. Oh, it looks delicious. How do you like it? Yes, it’s soft and fluffy. Ah, yes, I guess that’s because it’s steamed in bamboo. Yes, as you said, I think the aroma is stronger when it’s boiled inside the bamboo. Yes, yes. [Music] In the old days, each household would buy chicken, but when guests came over, they would cook it and serve it, and it was the best treat ever. Yes, yes, it’s delicious, I can’t stop eating, yes, Nishime, this is called Ki, yes, it’s in the shape of a mori, yes, yes, it’s served in a horizontal formation, it’s a standard dish of onigiri, it’s yellow, yes, it’s covered on the outside, it’s corn, it’s not like the modern-day soybeans, it’s hard, yes, over here it’s called Kibikibi, yes, so the local rice is also careful about the rice, yes, yes, Nishime , it’s well seasoned and delicious, [music] It was good, yes, is this easy cooking? Yes, yes, yes, when there are festivals and gatherings, Nishime is served, yes, as I thought, when I talk to teachers from Kyoto City, it seems that in the past, It was an extremely poor place, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that some people starved in the winter, so it was a very difficult place, so they dried corn, radishes, and all kinds of other things and ate that. [Music] Have you ever felt that God was close to you here? [Music] When you eat lunch, you put some rice in the lid of your lunch box, put a side dish of bread on it, and offer it to the mountain on a paper tray, and then say “Please, eat it,” and eat it again.If anything happens, you pray to God that he won’t hurt you.It feels like God is always with us in our daily lives, and we should never forget to be grateful.I guess that just saying “ it’s normal, it’s normal” is just like a thank you, isn’t it? After Takamachi, he became one of the three great esoteric religions in Japan. We arrived at Seaverson, a place said to be the birthplace of the Japanese warriors. [Music] This is a mountain village where defeated soldiers from the river of Jannaura settled. The local warlord who followed them was touched by their frugal lifestyle and began to live with them. It’s amazing. [Music] I’m overwhelmed. Wow , the stone walls are lined up like they were when they were alive. The road now seems to be passing through people’s homes or through the streets, but it feels like there’s a castle or something. There’s a man here. Let’s talk to him. Sorry , can I suddenly ask you a question? Dad, there’s one thing I’d like to ask you. I heard that Seaverson was built by people from the military. Dad, you’re a descendant of Heiki. [Music] You ‘re already the middle-aged man. Oh, I see. The whole place is like that. Wow. But it feels nice . It’s surrounded by nature and goes deeper into the mountains. I would like to meet you on this trip. [Music] [Music] Hello, sorry, I suddenly heard that the Yakiha tradition is still being passed down here, but today, I came here. Actually, here in Sea Bassoon, the traditional Yakiha tradition that has been passed down since the Jomon period is still being passed down, and it has been recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Site. [Music] This is the field that was burned last year, but it’s a steep slope, isn’t it? So in November of last year, at junior high school, this year, it was a mixed country , and it was foam, do you understand? Foam, foam, foam, cold, and so on . To avoid problems with continuous cropping, the method of continuous cropping is to change the crop every year . Do you do it for 3 to 4 years? The field is, and then it’s over, and we move again, so it’s not a playful thing, but it’s a point, but I think it’s good to continue doing it every year, right? 34 After a year, the role has been lost and it can no longer be done, so it’s like I’m forcing it back, and I don’t water it anymore, so it’s like the ultimate blessing of the first degree, but I don’t think crops grow all year round, but if you burn this, wild plants and things like that will come out, and you can get charcoal and water, and that’s how I used to work. This place was burned 20 or 10 years ago , and when cherry blossoms and other trees start growing again, they’ll be cut down and grown in the same place again in 30 years, 30 years from now, my son will probably do it, but I don’t know what he’s doing, so I’m not looking at it … This forest of organ trees that was once a field is now a 3-year-old house. I’m also helping out Mr. Sheba. It’s amazing, it’s so good, oh, what is this? It’s a net. Do you eat this as tempura or something? Tempura. I’m waiting here. Oh, this is it. Oh, it must come out. Oh, wow. You seem to know everything about the mountains, but is there anything you don’t know? My mother is like a doctor of three. Yes, there are hundreds of kinds. Mr. Sheba’s wife picked the three dishes and made them into tempura. Thank you. Wow, it’s delicious. So, the blessings of spring from Seabass are, yes, dumpling soup, Wad soup , Wad soup, Wad soup, when it boils, it looks like a frog swimming, so it’s called frame soup, ah , I made a box, yes, let’s eat, of course it’s my first time, it’s also delicious, it’s quite chewy, I think it’s good, and when I picked it, my eyes were drawn to it, yes, spring has come, it’s a seasonal taste so I think it’s good, yes, it’s a seasonal taste, today, I said I was going to go, I was wondering what was going to happen, but it was really fulfilling, and when I came running, it was like it was good, yes, the air is good, the water is good, and the 3-year-old is good, yes, yes , do you have any messages for children living in the city, if the mountains become rough, the rivers will become rough , yes, children and people in the city say that in order to flow good water, clean water, after all, the people who live there have to have regulations, yes, they have to live with the enemy, 3 or something, that’s all there is, yes, I would be happy if they noticed the good places deep in the mountains, yes … I was constantly fascinated by Sea’s way of life, which does not let go of the wisdom given to it by its predecessors.Next is one of the three biggest teams in the world made up of cowardice, Sakurai Yako’s Miyazaki Prefecture Sea Bassoon trip.I heard a rumor that they have started something new in recent years nearby.Hello, hello, tomorrow, sorry, I was working, but what were you doing now ?Ah, I’m currently cleaning the pond.Ah, this is the pond where the long sharks feed.Long sharks , yes, long sharks are caviar, right?Yes, they are big, about 1 meter, no, there are a few more, 1 meter, yes, about 20 or 30 meters.Long sharks are sharks, well, actually, the Japanese long shark is not a shark, it is a completely different ancient fish that is grouped together.It is thought to be a fish that lives in the sea, but it is a carbohydrate fish.It does not have teeth, so it sometimes bites at all.It has no teeth, it has no teeth.Now, that’s its mouth, right.It ‘s swimming upside down, is it swimming? It’s swimming.I thought it was resting.What is this?Um, what long shark is it? [Music] This is it.It is a Russian long shark, and it is a long one.Um , one Swimming alongside them is a fish called a Yama, and it’s a strange sight, isn’t it? A Yama and a Naga swimming together. Yes, this is the only place where they can be found. Yes, it’s true. With Yama, if muddy water flows through them, it gets stuck in their gills and they die. We are aiming to produce caviar that has no odor, so we let the Yamame swim together with the fish as a kind of sensor to grow them in a clean environment. The Seaverson has a very high altitude, so the water is very cold. Because of this difference, they go on a diet in the winter and produce very fine caviar. I see, it’s great to be able to see the reconstituted fish. Oh, here is the mouth we saw earlier. Oh, this is their mouth, isn’t it? Yes, it ‘s normal, or rather it’s kind of hard, but it doesn’t hurt at all. Finally, we are going to take out the eggs. I’m starting to get nervous. There are a lot of eggs, and it looks like they’re going to release oil. There are so many in there. There’s grass on both the right and left, so there are two of them. The eggs are quickly salted. Suzuki-san said, We are now able to enjoy the caviar that has been grown over years.It ‘s fine to eat it as is, as is.Thank you.Is it okay?I’m sorry. [Laughter] You can’t really taste the caviar unless you eat a full spoonful, so I guess that’s how it is.I’m going to eat it whole.[Music] There’s poop and the taste is amazing.Thank you.Wow , it’s delicious.What a luxury.We have a special treat, and this is caviar that has been washed in sake.It ‘s the first time in the world that caviar has been flavored with something other than salt, so please try it .[Music] The flavor becomes stronger and more intense, so it would go well with sake.Thank you.It has a nice taste.Until now, caviar has only ever been salty. Actually, people overseas don’t eat any fish other than caviar. Ah, that’s right, but Japanese cuisine actually does a lot of research on fish. Ikura isn’t just salty, it’s also soy sauce flavored. I tried combining Japanese cuisine with caviar and marawa and caviar, and it turned out delicious. That was my way of doing things. Ah, I see, I want to go, but I’d love to. It’s the end of the trip, so I’ll splurge and it’s beautiful. [Music] This trip around the mountain villages of Miyazaki Prefecture. Everything I saw and heard filled me with a sense of gratitude for nature and its blessings. Next time, I’ll go on another family trip. [Music]
