北陸の旅 石川県 加賀市 山中温泉
桜並木
石川県、福井県を今回旅行して印象的だったのは、いたるところに桜並木があることでした。車道の両脇、川の両岸、畦道、学校の前の道。農業をしながら桜を愛でる。豊かな文化だと思います。
菊の湯
山中温泉は菊の湯を中心として、温泉街が広がっています。菊の湯はスクウェア状の広場になっており、車は通れません。何処と無くヨーロッパの広場を彷彿とさせます。春休みだからか、夕方になると地元のおじいさん、おばあさんが孫を連れて温泉に入りに来ます。その様子が何とも風情があります。
山中漆器
山中温泉は山中漆器と呼ばれる漆器で有名せす。腕の良い器の木彫り職人さんが集まっており、山中で彫られた器が輪島へ行き、輪島塗となるようです。山中漆器は木目を生かした薄めの塗りが特徴です。とても素朴で輪島ほど高値でなく、実用的で庶民向けにできています。桜の山中漆器も気に入ったけど、今回私は梓と呼ばれる木に赤と黒の漆を施した漆を購入しました。器自体は山中の職人さんが作っているけれど、おそらく漆は中国からの輸入だと思います。

Revolution for home cooking
During stay home period, I and my family had every meal at home. It is painstaking to prepare every meal, so I finally decided to buy "Hot cook". I describe this machine as follows: a revolution for home cooking equivalent to the value of rice cooker.
What’s "Hot cook"?
Hot cook is an electronic pot which can be used without water. We just input ingredients according to recipe, set the menus and timer and all set! This product is manufactured and sold by SHARP.
The most recommended recipe
The most recommended recipe is waterless vegetable chicken curry. We just input tomatos, chopped onion and celery, ground ginger and garlic, chicken wings and Japanese curry stock. Like this:
Then, we select menu and set timer like this:
And at 18:00, the waterless vegetable chicken curry is ready!
We eat this curry with rice which was coocked by rice cooker.
The chicken wing is tender and delicious. If you use canned tomato instead of raw tomatos, the taste will be deep with flavor.
Save time and be healthy
By using Hot cook, we can save time and be healthy. During stay home period, I took lunch, set Hot cook and went to a park and play with my kid. We played until like 6 p.m and went back home and then we quickly served curry and rice and eat! We ca save time and can spend more time with kids and stay healthy. I think this machine is revolution for cooking!
Rest in peace, Haruma Miura
49 days have passed since a young Japanese famous actor, Haruma Miura killed himself. I haven't watched TVs or films for these ten years so I haven't noticed him acting in lots of dramas, films and stages. The first time and the last time I recognized him was in a drama called "14 year old mom" when he was a teenager.
After his death, I google every day to search Haruma's videos and found him grown up. He is tall, cute and handsome and also sexy. He had no scandals, he was so kind and always smiling but seemed a bit sensitive. He made extra efforts for acting and singing. I was attracted not only by his appearance but also his pure character.
I will try to watch his dramas and films little by little.
Now I really want to watch this. "Kimi in todoke", which is a school movie.
He also had been MC for NHK documentary which introduces art crafts in the world. The latest one introduces Japanese crafts and I was very impressed with this. So I decided to buy Haruma's book which introduces Japanese hand made goods. He traveled all 47 prefectures in Japan spending four years and introduces every prefecture's famous crafts. The book was sold out so I reserved to buy from Rakuten books.

I was impressed that Haruma told at the TV that he daily uses wooden dishes covered by Urush, which are very expensive and supposed to be used in occasional case, like when inviting people.
My dream is to travel to Iwate prefecture to buy the same Urushi dishes as Haruma had and use them everyday!
Though he left this world, his dramas, films, songs, photos and books and his soul are always with us. In addition, I hope to see him after life!
巣篭もり生活
我が社は比較的早い段階の2月中旬から在宅勤務生活になった。それからあれよあれよと言う間に子供の学校が休校になり、外出自粛になり、緊急事態宣言が発せられることとなった。バレエが休講となり、ピラティススタジオもクローズ。ガーン。それでも良いことはあります。
ヨガ教室がオンライン講座を始めた
私がかねてから通いたくて仕方なかった神田のファミリーヨガさんが、この度オンライン講座を開いてくれることになりました。自宅から遠いのでなかなか通えなかったのですが、オンラインだったらまるでどこでもドアを手に入れたように、朝起きたらそのままレッスンを受けられます。感動。週4という今まで考えられなかったペースで受講中!
経済的、効率的な縄跳び
小学生の子供を見て始めたのが縄跳び!縄跳10分間はジョギング30分の効果があるとのことで、始めました。晴れた日にだいたい100回✖️5セットやっています。心筋が鍛えられ、体幹も鍛えられるのでバレエのピルエットが綺麗に回れるようになります。アシックス大人用の縄跳び買いました。
庭でランチ
晴れた日はとても気持ちの良い季節なので、外にキャンプ用の机と椅子を出してご飯を食べます。会社行っているとなかなかこういうことはできませんでしたが、太陽の光を浴びながらご飯を食べるのは最高です。コールマンあたりは手頃で軽くて折り畳めるのでオススメ。
こんな風に、ポストコロナ時代はもっと人間らしい生活ができるようになるんだろうな。ピンチはチャンス。
