For "WEEKLY TOKYO" of this
week, Rhonin Asakura is first charge.
Although rice this year was bad harvest,
a freshman is nice too. By the way, if it
is usually called rice reaping, there is
an image which mows the rice which became
yellow. That is, a rice field carries out
water discharge two weeks or more ago, and
a harvest is gathered after killing a rice
completely. However, does it know that this
method is a foul in fact? Since nourishment
cannot be accumulated to an ear any more
if a rice withers, until just before mowing
in fact, water should be filled, and a rice
should be employed efficiently. Then, some
reasons for making the ear of rice into being
weather-beaten in the state where it withered,
two weeks or more think that the question
? will come out. If it says quickly, in the
paddy field cultivated deeply, it will be
the convenience of the simple "machine"
of since the wheel of a combine sinks. As
a result of thinking for productivity first,
it consisted of a taste of rice so. A rice
field is dried over two weeks or more, and
a combine is mobilized after that.
Don't I wish to consume not the rice
of such economic efficiency top priority
but the rice which continued growth until
just before mowing, since it may be somewhat
high? In fact, it becomes earnest, and if
it searches, cannot be, for example, it can
get in the "natural house" of Kichijoji
(it has not always placed). Since the rice
field which is making this rice is hardly
cultivated, the wheel of a combine is not
buried even if it has filled water immediately
before. Since the stump is still valid after
cutting a rice to it, water is filled again
and winter is made to spend. Since the birds
which a stump etc. rots in the meantime,
it becomes nourishment, and an alga and a
microbe breed, and make small fish, a aquatic
insect, and them food also increase in number,
it is suitable for non-[ agrochemical-free
] chemical fertilizer cultivation.
Well, Rhonin Asakura of me is a vegetarian
of 30 years. The Europe and America people
is not unusual though it is regarded as a
curiosity in Japan. The egg vegetarian and
the fish which eats only the egg have the
kind such as the fish vegetarians of OK most
by the Europe and America vegetarian. The
animal proteins of those who complete live
on vegetables by the refusal of all as are
called Vegan (vegan), and are as indeed in
the minority as that of me. Limit, and the
one this is "Natural house" and [ Map A] in shop to which I go to procure food because
of such a restriction.
One more house is introduced. "Miuraya"
in the place near a station [Map B]. The bean paste of the name of "Tengaiten"
is sold there. The explanatory note of a
label. "It is the bean paste which the
Japanese bean paste craftsman adhered to
the material and the process, and was bean
paste scrupulous and made them in Mongolian's
rich Nature. The soybean raised with no agrochemicals,
rice, and natural halite are used. Taste
and flavor of the genuine article which the
stubborn craftsman wanted to build and was
not able to be built"It is presumed
that it is because air is beautiful although
it does not understand why the taste becomes
it nice to build with Mongolian. There are
only only two stores which I can use by Kichijoji
with many grocery stores.
However, neither you Kichijoji is not
nor towns in a food shop and dress goods
shop alone though it is natural. I visit
many times for the study of English conversation
on the week. First of all, there is “NOVA"
Kichijoji around the station, and rival's
"Geos" is branch shop to facing
of "Ohtsuka furniture". Being necessary
to pay is reluctant though it passed to my
Geos and NOVA. considerable tuition (about
4000yen an one hour)However, the free English
conversation class is very done in Mormon
Church (saint Jesus Christ church of the
end) near a natural house [ map C]. There
is of course no what from Haishin is compelled
to Mormonism at all. The American missionary
teaches English conversation for two hours
in the volunteer work at from 7:00PM on Thursdays.
When I went the other day, Hallowe'en Party
was done by chance. However, all liquors
become the toasts by the root beer of an
orange juice or an alcoholic pulling out
in this church because the prohibition.

of Rhonin Asakura which goes to Kichijoji
3 times per week for food supply and English-conversation
study.

It is the life which its wish does
not realize.
It was presumed that the ginkgo roadside
trees of Jingu-gaien would be yellow leaves,
and went to cover because November had come.
However, the leaf of the ginkgo was still
green. [ Photograph A]
I searched walking in Jingu-gaien and
the surroundings. And, the area which had
to be reported to the reader was discovered
In the east side of Jingu-gaien, there
is an under metropolitan management apartment.
In addition, there is Akasaka-goyochi of
a vast area where the royalty lives in the
east side. The under metropolitan management
apartment is built in little land. [Photograph B]

In this area, there is a Shinto shrine
with these four shops besides the under
metropolitan management apartment. (One block
along the line of the Main Street the 246th
in the national road is
excluded. )
Four shops are "Rice store",
"Tofu seller", "Tuck shop",
and "Movable greengrocer who used the
car. "

This suggests profundity the truth. In a
word, "The town is approved if there
are a rice store, a tofu seller, a greengrocer,
a confectionery, and a Shinto shrine. "
Life is a thing of possible in the Japanese
if there is "Rice store, tofu seller, greengrocer,
confectionery, and Shinto shrine" if it paraphrases it.
The Chinese cuisine shop which had done business
to the evidence in the vicinity in the tuck
shop had already given up one's business.
The economy of Japan is a recession now.
The Chinese cuisine shop came off from the
component of necessary a minimum of which
composed the town.

It is the shop front of a photograph of what

shop which is near
the exit of a JR Shinbashi
station here although
it is unclear. (Refer to
the photograph below.

Notes2
Kanda has not been covered
in this homepage.
So, the talented idea which
expressed the
impression of a town by
the formula is meaningless.
Furthermore, since those
who know Kanda and
do not know Shinbashi are
very rare, it is
doubly meaningless.

translation
A sweetheart's (man) sigh was able to be
heard from the crevice between "bamboo
rake." A fortune next year is wished
and there is no worth which came for the
prayer to "Otorisama" by two persons.
|
"Otorisama" was originally
a festival
of Ohtori-jinja Shrine. However, the
large
sales market of "Bamboo rake with
the
decoration of the good luck talisman"
now.
  |
| The garbage control car had been stopping
as shown in in front of the Shinto
shrine.
Last year's bamboo rake was collected.
Collecting,
taking the beautiful part which
seems to
be able to be used home, and
producing it
with making by oneself are that
the impudent
fellow does. |

Haunted house attraction |
１. It was not explained why it was mysterious
what anywhere of the hall.
２．The human body specimen which does this
special processing has displayed the disclaimer
"Please do not touch the exhibit"
to the propaganda leaflet in the hall though
wrote, "It is not dirty even if it touches
by the person". A swindle act.
3. The inside of the hall is "a ban
on photography." If a sponsor wants
to educate science, not the ban on photography
but a sponsor has to encourage photography.
From the above reason of three points, the
conclusion written in the white character
of the beginning was reached.
  |
| The hole is made in the outside of the wall
in the hall at two places. Although
only
an entrance visitor's figure
is in sight
in almost all cases, there is
a glimpse of
an exhibition thing occasionally.
Only the
idea of this "peephole"
deserves
praise. |
