[Participating in the Yonago Sculpture Symposium]

I was surprised at the sudden heat at the opening ceremony, but the comfort of the breeze helped me a lot throughout the session. Being near the sea was a very special thing for me, who often plays in the mountains and rivers, and it was also a luxury time. The water in Nakaumi didn't look very clean, but I never got tired of looking into the water every day. The goby, which was still small when it came in July, had become a magnificent fried size by the time the work was installed. Also, if you go a little further, you can enjoy the beautiful Sea of Japan, delicious seafood and sea play with your family who came during the session. I was able to climb Oyama after the installation was completed. It was a mountain with a height of about 1700 meters, but when I climbed it, it was quite steep, and I, who was supposed to be a good leg, was a little stubborn. As I walked along the mountain trail, watching the rattling and collapsing valleys, I noticed that there were many young local families. Light mountaineering and hiking are also popular in Tokyo, but most of them were middle-aged and elderly and felt the aging of the mountaineering population, but this time Oyama is said to be because families with small children are happily climbing. It's not that, but I felt very happy when I greeted the passing children and Konnichiha.

I thoroughly enjoyed the sea and mountains, but unfortunately I couldn't play in the river. I couldn't go to my favorite mountain stream fishing, but I will save it for the fun when I come next time. Even though it is a big city like Yonago, there is a lot of nature around it and I felt that it was a really well-balanced town. Among the impressions of Yonago that I had, such as many beautiful women, no trash on the road, and no Seven-Eleven, I liked the good distance between the city and nature.

I didn't mean to just play around, but my honest impression is that it was a fun summer. The three seniors I worked with were all good people, and thanks to the staff who responded wonderfully to the selfish writers and, above all, the volunteers who took care of me, I had this impression. I think. Thank you so much.
