"Mr. Toshihiko Hosaka, a world-famous sand art artist, completed a sand statue to liven up Higashimatsushima City, Miyagi Prefecture, which had collapsed and was remade due to the earthquake on May 1, and was unveiled on the 17th". I visited the other day after seeing the news.
The 2.4-meter-high sand statue that was completed and unveiled at the JR Yamoto station square in Higashimatsushima City was inspired by a woman who thinks of a carp rising in the heavens. Mr. Hosaka started production on April 24th and was scheduled to be completed on May 6th, but the work collapsed greatly due to the earthquake on the 1st, and it was remade from scratch.
The work inspired by the "blue carp streamer" in Higashi Matsushima City was named "Shori (victory)" with the idea that it would not lose to the earthquake and corona virus.
The work will be exhibited for about 3 months.
Blue Impulse is drawn on the back !
Higashi Matsushima City has the Air Self-Defense Force Matsushima Air Base, which is famous for Blue Impulse.
The other day I went to the Hiyoriyama Park in Ishinomaki city, one of the famous places in this area, to see the cherry blossoms.
Hiyoriyama Park
You can see the city of Ishinomaki and the former Kitakami River below, and Matsushima and Zao in the distance. 400 cherry blossoms in spring and 460 azaleas in early summer. Various stone monuments are also built in the park, including the statue of Magobei Kawamura and the statue of Basho and Sora, who made a great contribution to the establishment of the Kitakami River.
I'm glad I came on the day of full bloom !
It was a sunny, warm and beautiful day, isn't it ?? It seems that flowering was about 10 days earlier than usual this year.

" Harutsuge don " ( Collaboration with local spring vegetables )
Today, I would like to introduce Minamisanriku Kirakira Don, a specialty of Minamisanriku.
Please come to our hotel to eat the seasonal Kirakira(gliter) bowl !
Received the Jury special Award of " Food Action Japan Award 2014 "
Minamisanriku Kirakira Don was born the idea of the proprietress of our hotel from the desire to liven up Minamisanriku Town in the wake of Miyagi Prefecture's first destination campaign in 2008.
After that, we called on restaurants in the town to make it easier for people who visited Minamisanriku to enjoy delicious local ingredients. Then, it became " Food to revitalize the town ", and in December 2009, each restaurant in Minamisanriku-cho began to offer " Minamisanriku Kirakira Don " that makes the best use of the individuality of each restaurant. Furthermore, the activities were carried out throughout the year, with " Harutsuge Don " in spring, " Uni Don " in summer, " Akiuma Don " in autumn, and " Ikura Don " in winter.
This initiative has been highly evaluated, and we have received the special jury prize of the 6th " Food Action Nippon Award 2014 " as a project of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
