I hope that various images can be created by placing two stones in pairs. [Production] '98 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 18th -August 30th , 1996 [After the '98 Yonago Sculpture Symposium] Gravitation means gravity. "The moment the foal stands up immediately after birth, the appearance of plants germinating and growing from the ground, and the" energy to life "common to many archaeological sites built by humankind. The force that opposes gravity. Reconstruct the power that is inherent in each of them, and express it as a form that is rooted in the earth. " I have continued to produce with the above concept. This time, the work produced by Yonago is a work that aims to face the gravity and not to make you feel the gravity. It's a moment when a stone rooted in the ground seems to forget its weight and rise. Two works made of natural stones were set up in a position where they attracted each other, and the same stones were placed around them to express them as one place. I hope that you can feel the energy even when the citizens take a walk. The 44 days in Yonago have been the most exciting days I will never forget. Every event and every encounter was fun and meaningful as if it had been organized by someone from the beginning. We would like to thank all the people involved in the symposium, including the Yonago Sculpture Symposium Secretariat. Last but not least, I would like to thank Jesse Souzbury, Hideo Motoike, and the creator of Motoike for their great cooperation in the production of my work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It also includes the mysterious communication given to unknown reality. This is my personal offering as a positive element of my life and a gesture of goodwill between America and Japan. The image is based on a circle. The circle is a perfect harmony, it has no beginning or end. It is a symbol of the sun, heaven, perfection, and the cycle of life, a peaceful image. Part of this circle is like a person's arm extending towards the sky. It hugs the universe and dedicates itself to the sky. The stones that are part of the earth are eternal. And the offering is also eternal. [Production] '96 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 13 -August 25 , 1996 [After the '96 Yonago Sculpture Symposium] I learned about this symposium three years ago when I attended the "Iwate International Symposium" and met Mr. Ida. As a sculptor and architect, his work was very interesting because it reminded me of the ancient cities I had seen in South America and Africa before. After that, while looking at the catalog of Yonago's symposium that I received from him, I also wanted to participate. Fortunately, I was invited to this year's symposium, and I was able to meet Mr. Ida again, and made a visit to the strange land "Tottori Prefecture", which was only mentioned in my guidebook. Even better, I realized my desire to use locally produced basalt, which Isamu Guchi used effectively. It was a lot of fun during the production period in Yonago. The production venue is in a wonderful location, and thanks to the breeze from Nakaumi, I was able to work under the scorching sun. I didn't expect to continue working every day without resting so much, but other sculptors seemed to enjoy it too. It is often a social time from the evening, and Mr. Funakoshi, Mr. Matsumoto, and Mr. Adachi tried to have a good time, and I was able to fully enjoy these 6 weeks with everyone. I myself was pondering the idea of stones and works. I also received advice from other sculptors, including Mr. Ida and Mr. Motoike, regarding the undecided details. Many people "participated" in my work. This is what the symposium should be. Sculptors often work alone, but it was also meaningful to receive comments from other sculptors and visitors who visited the production venue one after another. This is the most wonderful gift I received in Yonago. If I could "dedicate" my feelings to Yonago through my work "offering", I wouldn't be more than happy. At the party, I felt a strong connection with Yonago. I am especially grateful to Mr. Tomomatsu for his friendship. I would like to come back to Yonago someday. Return to photo

The sweat on my forehead shone again and fell off. The red circular stone formed the boy's summer memories as the sun and summer, the red stone crossed the wind ... [Production] '90 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 29-August 31, 1990 [Participating in the '90 Yonago Sculpture Symposium] The taste of Yonago and Asahimachi It was July 28th that I arrived at the blue sky and green carp Yonago, which is just called Sanin. I was prepared, but in front of my rough stone, which is close to 6 tons, the dream of sightseeing in Tottori was about to disappear, but if human beings were in need, there was a time of night. .. The symposium has passed for a week, the stones have changed a little, and the symposium (sake banquet) of the two parts of the writers has disappeared. Then I came up with a night sightseeing. The place where three or two men look good is Asahimachi. When I noticed, I became a person in Asahi-cho on the 4th or 3rd. With each drink of water, the hard feelings of the daytime and the trouble of stone powder will be solved and flowed. Also, the accounting is conscientious, and my bosom is grateful. Mama-san, the boss who stopped by once every time. Thank you for taking care of me for a month. In addition, the landlady of Kintei was very welcome and made good memories of Yonago. It seems that the water that I used to drink wasn't special mineral water at any of the stores, but it tastes pretty good and the living water is good. In terms of taste, I was a little inexperienced and unsatisfied with being able to become "warigo soba" and "zaru soba" in the Kanto region. Yoneko Ryuishi was not defeated by my Tosa countryside. It wasn't winter, and I wanted to do my homework with crabs, find time, and go on a sightseeing trip in winter. Return to photo

Compared to the masculine and harsh climate of Shinshu, where I currently live, the scenery of the wide sky, the Sea of Japan, and the towering mountains of Oyama gives me a feeling of a broad motherhood that gently envelops everything that lives there. .. You may feel that because it is the land that is the origin of yourself as a pasture. I wanted to make a sculpture centered on a female image as a shape that symbolizes the city of Yonago. The sun and moon in the background represent the daily activities of the people who live there. The title of the work is "Myth of the Sun and the Moon", but there is a special story and it is not such a work. Through this work, I hope that you will feel the story in the lives of each person who has faced the work. What I can clearly see in this work is a story made in the hot summer sun with many people involved during the symposium, and after daily production, talking in the dusk. It is a story that has been spun. I hope that the various events of one summer will be recollected through this work as a memory of everyone and a story of a sculpture symposium under the sun and the moon. [Production] 2006 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 15 -August 26 , 2006 [Message from the writer] The other day, I returned to Yonago for the first time in a month. After the symposium, I left Yonago in a hurry, so I couldn't take a proper photo of the work. After the sculpture was installed, the height of the surrounding lawn was changed, so the work I saw for the first time in a while looked somewhat fresh. By the way, when I saw it just before I left Yonago, I was hit by a bird droppings even though I had just installed it. There may be nothing I can do about this, but I was a little disappointed. However, the work I saw that day was in a very beautiful state. I was a little relieved that the dirt had been removed by the rain, and when I tried to take a few pictures, I happened to meet Mr. Taniguchi of the Western General Office. In the chat, I learned that he was cleaning the work from time to time, and I was happy that the warm consideration at the time of the symposium seemed to continue. After the symposium, it was a huge amount of school work that was waiting for me to return to Nagano. Naturally, I was away for a month and a half, but for a while I couldn't afford to immerse myself in the lingering sound of the symposium, and the time passed in no time. I wondered if that summer day of this year really happened, and I was caught in the illusion that it was a dream. At that point, Yonago sent me a request for this text, along with materials such as newspaper articles, and I had time to recollect this summer. A fulfilling time to think only about production every day. It was a dream time for me. A few days after the opening ceremony, heavy rain at the end of the rainy season. The symposium was hot and high, so I rushed to procure a windbreaker and long sleeves. Mr. Iwanaga, an assistant who came with the rain. He was often called "Ameo". Around this time, I could still laugh and listen to the words, "The game is in July." When the sculpture class was over in August, the time passed as quickly as I was told. The freshness of the material "stone" that you will know again. The planned installation date and the end of the symposium are gradually approaching. Fighting with stones. This job probably couldn't be done by myself. I was really taken care of by my assistant, Mr. Iwanaga. Mr. Iwama, Mr. Akechi, Mr. Sazen, as the deadline for installation was approaching, he encouraged me to become bearish and supported me in various situations. Above all, volunteers who come every day. People from the Tottori Prefecture Western General Office. The encouragement of many people who support this symposium has been a great help. On the day of installation, when I tried to lift the work, suddenly the clouds became suspicious. downpour. The installation was completed successfully, but after that, Iwanaga-kun was given the title of "Ameo" who was responsible. Tears shed at the closing ceremony. The person I met in Yonago this summer. Thank you very much. Return to photo

While feeling dizzy in the rapidly changing daily life, I feel myself floating in the excess of information. The events in front of us pass by every moment, and the passage of time never stops. Then, through a filter called me, only the melted ones sink into the pond of memory. "Memory" is a motif of my sculpture that has been going on since 1987. When I look into the pond of memory inside me, I remember being surrounded by the vague and sweet light that appears and disappears. I am worried about such vague memories, and I find the fragments in the material called stone. By carving and polishing with the body, the memory is ruminated and becomes a "image of memory". And the work goes back to my daily life. I hope that it will pass through someone's filter and melt into the pond of memory. It becomes one of the information again and flows. [Production] 2004 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 17 -August 28 , 2004 [Participating in the Yonago Sculpture Symposium] The 43-day symbolium began at Minatoyama Park in the heat of the heat. It was different from the production in the atelier, and it was a little hard until the rhythm was made, but the production venue where I go by bicycle every day was supported by the secretariat and volunteers, and it became a familiar atelier. I went. Since it is held in an open space called a park, many people watched it, and it was possible to show the sculpture production live not only to those who are interested in sculpture but also to various people who visit the park. It was meaningful to me. Communication with various people through sculpture production was not only fun but also difficult. However, on the contrary, it also became a comfortable feeling of tension, and as a result, I think it was one of the reasons why I was able to spend a fulfilling 43 days. My place is in the park, where you can feel the cherry blossom trees around the work and the wind from the Nakaumi spreading to the west. Unfortunately, it was still cold when I visited for a preview, and when I couldn't see the shape of the cherry blossom buds, I heard about the wonderfulness of the cherry blossoms and the setting sun at the installation site. While envisioning a landscape surrounded by the colors and air of the pale bink of cherry blossoms, the warm orange of the setting sun, and the scent of the tide in the space of winter withering, I remember as if I imagined something nostalgic and soft. I have been thinking about a plan that I would like to comfortably accept such a soft space and create a sculpture that blends into the space. "I went to see the installation site every day during the production. It was past the time of flowers, and the cherry blossom trees in midsummer shined green and the dignified expression was impressive. The flowers are good, but the green is also good. The space surrounded by the colors of cherry blossoms and plants in each season will give various expressions to the work, and the sunset over the middle sea, which is more vivid than imagined, seems to illuminate the work more sweetly. For me, who imagined the scenery of spring, this was a big miscalculation. For the artist, production is the time of conflict with the work and the honeymoon. And completion is the time to break up with the work. From the moment the work is completed, it is no longer in the hands of the artist, and the work blends into the space in which it is placed, creating a new sculptural space. I feel that sculptures are born from conflicts with writers and Mitsuzuki, and grow up in the surrounding space. That is why the space in which the sculpture is placed and the environment surrounding it are very important. Being able to create a work that includes the installation space should be the minimum requirement for a writer, but in reality it is very difficult to realize when installing a work. This time, at the Yonago Symposium, we planned the work including the installation space from the beginning, and we were able to produce it almost as we imagined. This seems easy and difficult. I think it was possible because of the great cooperation and understanding of the people involved. I'm really thankful to you. The rest is to blend in with the space surrounding the work and grow into a presence that is loved by more Yonago people. Please keep an eye on me for a long time. Return to photo

The orientation was determined by the levelness of the river surface, the inclination of the concrete wall on one side, and the shape of the promenade covered with brick tiles. "Manners" is what it should be and what I am. How do people who come and go perceive the confusion that things are placed in an empty space? [Production] 2000 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 22nd -August 30th , 2000 [Participating in the Yonago Sculpture Symposium] I had heard about the Yonago Sculpture Symposium several times from acquaintance writers, and everyone talked about the goodness of Yonago with a nostalgic look. Thirty years ago, when I was just enrolled in art school, I had no special feelings for Yonago other than the memory of just passing by while traveling around the Chugoku region by car with a friend. was hearing. Living in a new land that can be freed from miscellaneous things and buried in production is a happy time by itself, but I miss the blessed natural environment and the calm townscape, and from the standpoint of everyone involved in the symposium. I was encouraged by my passion and was able to concentrate on my work comfortably. The distance between the production site and the installation location was also ideal for me, and I was able to go back and forth frequently and make convincing confirmation work. I think this is the most important factor in sculpture production. This is one of the great things about the Yonago Sculpture Symposium. Following the changes in the world, the diversification of art has progressed rapidly, and it is not easy to find a shape suitable for Yonago from the wide range of options. The anguish between what to keep and the new changes is the same for writers. I hope that the Yonago Sculpture Symposium will grow as well as my own growth as a writer. The wind that crosses the Nakaumi. The heat of the calm. Fireworks I saw up close. Toro nagashi, heron. Monkey-faced cat. Shiba Inu who doesn't know the name with a beautiful woman. Sweaty face of a healthy young person rowing a boat. After the closing ceremony was over and everyone was sent off, I returned to Minatoyama Park and climbed up with breathlessness due to the deep sake of the nights. I got up to work faster than anyone else, sat down under a blue tarpaulins tent swaying in the wind across the Nakaumi, and drank while looking at the stones. Encounter with many wonderful people. Every time I returned from Yonago and my acquaintances asked me about the symposium, I answered, Yonago was good. I was fortunate to be able to spend the summer of 2000 in Yonago. Return to photo

The theme of this work is water, which is indispensable to our lives. Life lives in the water. I think that dams and reclamation projects are issues that must be seriously reconsidered. The death of a river is like stopping the lubricious flow of blood in the human body. We humans are part of the ecosystem and should be one with nature. I think of the earth as a living organism. Therefore, it can be said that all substances on the earth have life. A profit-oriented society produces discrimination, conflict and waste, and the destruction of nature is progressing day by day. I think that if we change our mindset a little and have more love for nature, we can improve the environment. What we have to do over time will be to leave behind the legacy of a beautiful natural environment. I'm working on this concept, but I want to respect individual sensibilities. What is important is the image power of the people who appreciate the work. Each person should feel differently. Therefore, I really want you to think that the explanation of this work is just a garnish. [Production] 2002 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 13th -August 25th , 2002 [Participating in the Yonago Sculpture Symposium] On the day of the closing ceremony, there were many faces of familiar people there. It was an illusion of people who had known for a long time, and the 40-day long and short symposium was over. I am very happy to be able to safely set up a work that is a collection of various thoughts, while feeling refreshed away from everyday life and leaving a little regret. I personally worked on the work directly, but it is a fact that the intentions of many people were reflected in the work without knowing it. A work is a medium that connects people and cannot exist alone. It is made up of the support of people. Behind the scenes are the backup systems of the government offices and volunteers who provided generous hospitality day and night. I was blessed with other participating artists. I think they did a great job. Of course I am, but most importantly, I've tried to maintain a balanced and balanced condition. If you're too nervous, it won't last long, and if you're too nervous, your work won't progress. I think I was able to digest this point well. And best of all, there were no major accidents or injuries during the production. It seems that there was a day when alcohol disinfection was too effective at the symposium at night, but everyone was in good physical condition and seemed to be absorbed in the production. Fortunately, my accommodation was near the neon district of Asahi-cho, and as a matter of course, I was infested every night, wandering around, enjoying delicious sake and side dishes, and replenishing nutrition. Another real pleasure of the trip was when the work was almost completed, and I was able to enjoy the sights and hot springs here and there. I had been trying to enjoy this symposium from the beginning, so I think I was able to achieve that purpose perfectly. In terms of work production, the work proceeded comfortably, and many events awaited to fill the gap, which was also a fresh stimulus. I have received a lot of inspiration from this trip, and the accumulation of it has inspired new production motivations. The last impression I had of Yonago was that it was a town that coexisted with wonderful nature, and that it was a town where culture permeated. The morning after the closing ceremony, I stayed and stood in front of my work. A person on the way to the walk came and said, "Yonago's citizens value only culture but are not aggressive." I answered. "That's enough." I would like Yonago to continue to preserve the old streets, untouched nature, and unique culture. Also, I can't forget the gentle faces of the people I saw in Yonago.

[Production] '94 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 16 -August 28 , 1994 [After the '94 Yonago Sculpture Symposium] I was very pleased that the symposium commission had the courage to invite foreign writers. Because that decision poses many problems, such as unfamiliar languages, other habits, and different ways of working. But that is the challenge of the symposium. A symposium is about learning about and exchanging with other people, other habits, and other ways of working. That's why it's important to work with a foreign sculptor. Thank you for this time. Yonago's symposium was a very good experience. Return to photo

Also, create a sculpture. What is the unstoppable, unstoppable thing that crumbles bring to your heart? Twenty years ago, in front of the parthenon gable sculpture I met at the British Museum in England, I felt like an obsession for eternity in exchange for the life of an ancient man. I felt that if even a piece of the act of creation remains, a human spell will be left behind in something that will be weathered and crumbled, and that it will be a strict business trip to the modern space. [Production] '90 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 29-August 31, 1990 [Participating in the '90 Yonago Sculpture Symposium] Impression of Yonago Thank you for inviting us to the Yonago Symposium. It was a week late for my private use, but I had a fulfilling time. I am deeply grateful to all the staff, and now that the session is over, I am reminded, deeply moved, and impressed. Yonago was blessed with good hot water, good environment, and seafood, and I was able to enjoy a lot of fresh fish, seaweed, and sashimi. Both rice and water were really delicious. However, what we must not forget about Yonago this time is the "humanity of the people" that has been nurtured and cultivated in that climate. It's simple, strong, deep and warm. For me, who was busy with the cluttered life of Tokyo, I felt at ease like an oasis. It was a time when my poor heart was embraced in the big foot of Oyama and saved. Also, I was able to work hard on the production comfortably. thank you. Yonago, everyone. Return to photo

The sunset on Lake Shinji seen from the shore of Lake Matsue, where I was born and raised, was magnificent, but the evening view of Nakaumi seen from the symposium venue was also beautiful. Compared to the Kanto region, the position of the clouds is low, and the appearance of the clouds dyed in madder red near the line of sight was a memory of my childhood and invited my nostalgia. I made the work with such an image that a girl sits comfortably in the Akane cloud and looks up at the west sky while making the best use of the color of African red granite. It is a landscape that is impossible in reality, but I hope that it will float in the greenery of Minatoyama Park as a poetic expression of the feelings of a girl in the dreaming season and the shape of clouds that can be transformed. Why don't you sometimes go behind the "Akane Cloud" and look at the clouds and the sky flowing from the window-shaped hollow space from the same perspective as the girl. You may understand the feelings of the girl. [Production] 2002 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 13th -August 25th , 2002 [Participating in the Yonago Sculpture Symposium] It seems that this summer was extremely hot. The Yonago region also recorded a temperature of over 37 degrees Celsius, so it was certainly hot. However, it seems that the reason why I didn't feel that much heat was due to the cool breeze from Nakaumi and the concentration of the public production. The symposium venue seems to be a wind path from Nakaumi to Shiroyama, and despite the heat of the city, it continued to carry the wind that was sometimes too strong throughout the session. While enjoying a nap in the shade of a tree, it was more comfortable than making it in the Saitama atelier. When I arrived at the venue with rice balls and sandwiches procured at a convenience store around 7:30 every morning, the other three writers had already boiled coffee and welcomed me in a group. Then until sunset, I worked until I couldn't see my hands. This pace did not change the day after the drinking party continued and I had a hard drink until midnight. When it was about to be completed in August, I decided to leave the battlefield and take a weekly vacation, but I pay tribute to the writer who worked almost without rest until the end. Thanks to that, I was able to create a work about twice as fast as usual. There is laundry fluttering in the wind. Next to that, curry rice is filled with rice, there is a raw vegetable salad, and Kobe beef is roasted. The writers are relaxing with a beer. It is the scenery of lunch one day. At lunch time, which was only a delivery lunch at first, thanks to the kindness of volunteers and administrative staff who felt sorry for it, miso soup was gradually added, salad was added, and plum wine for naps was also added as mentioned above. A gorgeous lunch time has appeared. Everything was in this condition, and the environment was prepared so that the artist could easily produce it. We appreciate. At the foot of Mt. Oyama, Yonago, which was blessed with nature, was a land rich in humanity. I felt the spirit of nurturing an art culture rooted in the San'in climate, and it was fun to interact with vibrant people. Especially women seemed to be fine. I went out to Asahi-cho every night to drink, and I became drunk with fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan and cultivated my spirit. Occasionally, on-site staff left work and stayed with me until midnight. Was your family okay? It seems that dark clouds are beginning to appear at the end of the sculpture symposium due to the financial difficulties of local governments these days, but it seems to be a problem that can be solved if the private sector and the government take flexible measures with wisdom for 100 years. It seems. Yonago Sculpture Symposium has grown into one of Japan's leading sculpture symposiums over and over again, and is famous in the world of sculpture. Many masons want to come to Yonago. This is also the result of the efforts of the executive committee members. I would like to thank you again as one of the members of the 8th Yonago Sculpture Symposium. Everyone in Yonago City was gradual. Return to photo

国内外の彫刻家を招き、1988年から2006年まで隔年で開催された米子彫刻シンポジウムで制作された36体の彫刻は、米子市文化ホールから湊山公園までの新加茂川沿いの遊歩道約3キロにわたり設置されています。米子彫刻ロードは「美しい日本の歩きたくなるみち500選」のひとつとして選ばれるほど美しく、情緒に満ちています。 [Title of work] ④ Words of the heart KEI SAZEN Born in Tokyo 1965- [About the work] Nowadays, I have more chances to hear the murderous and sad news. Even if we look at war, conflict, violence, ethnic independence and coexistence, and minimization of society, there are many problems such as bullying of the vulnerable and domestic abuse. The information-oriented society has diluted the relationship between people and the relationship between people and society in exchange for the abundance of matter and information. In these series of phenomena, various problems surrounding the turning point of the era that human beings are destined for are strongly reflected, but even the human life environment shakes the outlook on life, the outlook on human beings, and the outlook on ethics. It shouldn't seem like it is. Humans cannot live alone. Supported by irreplaceable family and friends, and watched over by their hometown, individuals have been warmly nurtured. If people become one mass through mutual communication, a strong bond should be regenerated. Promoting mutual understanding with the world and deepening the understanding of diversity will open the way for human coexistence and symbiosis. The "heart" that is inherent in all living things but can never be seen by the eyes. People have built a rich world by understanding by overlapping their hearts. He found two supporting "hearts" in black granite and expressed the true strength and kindness of human beings. I sincerely hope that it will become a playset that will be hugged by children, dirty with traces, and polished with the buttocks of trousers, and will blend in with the scenery of the city. What is your "word of mind"? [Production] 2006 Yonago Sculpture Symposium [Session] July 15 -August 26 , 2006 [Message from the writer] When I was a student, the sculpture symposium reached its heyday, and I envied my seniors who came home with a black tan, using the experience of one summer as a souvenir. After that, I also participated in several symposiums because of my relationship, but none of the symposiums disappointed me, and it was an exciting day to interact with the artists and create in a new environment. Meanwhile, the Yonago Sculpture Symposium opens in the year I graduated from art university. At an exhibition by a stonemason, former participants nostalgicly talked about the splendor of Yonago. You may be able to meet such a smile in Yonago. It was then that the feelings for this place began to be solicited. Was it two years ago when I heard that "it seems to be a break next time"? I sent the materials, but there was no sound until the end of the year, and when I was about to give up, I received a message. When it was opened, it was a public offering by a competition. Even though it was late, planning for three different sites was a difficult task, and it was the day before the deadline that I posted the drawings after all the trouble. Notification of the decision to start spring. It is also fresh in my memory that I couldn't find the stone I wanted during the site visit and left Yonago with a bit of anxiety. The heat wave of Yonago was heard every time, but every day I looked at the laundry and the sky without drying in the unexpected long rain right after the opening. Looking back on the session, there was no one to stop the production regardless of the weather, and I feel that the rain preserved the physical strength of the four people who are serious about the work. The elements of the work and the motivation of the production process are greatly influenced by the environment. The enthusiasm and devoted support of Chairman Tomomatsu, the secretariat, the executive committee, and the volunteers is deeply engraved in the heart of the artist, and above all, in every corner of the work. It is no exaggeration to say that the work born in Yonago is a joint production with all the people involved in the symposium. I felt that the spirit that built up the "Yonago method", which was said to be a model for symposiums, and the sincerity of "contact" that people cherish are the treasures of this town. In addition, the everyday life of the Sanin region for the first time and the scenery surrounding it were memorable. The venue in the dim morning, the smile of the child in the sculpture class, the sunset over the Nakaumi, the many lights of the Gina Festival, the night view of Yonago seen from Oyama, the neon lights of Asahimachi, and the Yonago Castle Ruins that I climbed to commemorate the installation of the work. You will never forget the view and so on. Even so, it was a delicious town no matter what I ate. During the period, a local historian found out from historical documents that my ancestors were in Tottori. Yonago felt nostalgic and uncomfortable because there must have been a fragment of this hometown somewhere in my body. This summer, I have a wonderful memory album. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for meeting the smiles of many people and the members who gave me strength and courage. gradually. Return to photo
