岩手の地を旅することは、単なる観光ではなく、時間という層を掘り下げる考古学的な体験に似ています。遠野の伝承園で目にする曲り家（まがりや）の温もりから、一戸町の御所野遺跡で触れる縄文の息吹まで。この二つの場所を繋ぐのは、厳しい自然と共に生き抜いてきた岩手の人々の「暮らし」の記憶です。今回は、日本の原風景を辿り、私たちが忘れてしまった「定住」の意味を紐解く旅へご案内します。
From Denshoen to Goshono: An Odyssey Through Iwate’s Timeless Landscapes
Traveling through Iwate is more than just sightseeing; it is an archaeological experience that delves into layers of time. From the warmth of the Magariya (L-shaped farmhouse) at Tono’s Denshoen to the ancient breath of the Jomon period at the Goshono Site in Ichinohe, these two locations are connected by the memory of “daily life” (kurashi) lived by the people of Iwate who survived alongside a harsh yet beautiful nature. Join us as we trace the original landscapes of Japan and rediscover the profound meaning of “settlement” that modern society has long forgotten.
