Build a house using familiar materials. What does it mean for people to live with nature? This time, I would like to experience a part of this in Kobe while learning about Indonesian-style house building.
First of all, it's good. People grow rice to eat. In the past, it was used not only to eat but also to build and live a house, and if it was damaged, it was used as fertilizer to the end and circulate it.
At present, most of the rice is actually cut with a combine and threshing. Straw is sown on the spot and waits for it to be turned into compost. "Why can't it be?" No, it's not bad. However, in the past, it was used for roofs to protect living for a while before turning into compost.
Harvesting is a collaborative event with Takenodai Elementary School's Takenodai Elementary School in Nishi Ward, Kobe City. In the rice field where elementary school students planted rice this spring, thanks to the management of instructors, Mr. Kanno, and other caretakers, the rice that grew steadily was waiting for the harvest.
Rice professional! Mr. Koike of Koike Farm (Kobe Rice Man!)
Elementary school students were harvesting first the day before. Bamboo Plateau Area Committee We harvested rice jointly with the straw club. Most people had the first experience of harvesting rice, but with the wonderful guidance of the instructor, they quickly cut it.
① Start working!
② Good luck with rice!
③ The structure of old threshing machines is the same as a combine.
④ I got a lot of it!
⑤ The last is straw knots and Hasa gake under the guidance of a thatch craftsman.
⑥ It was a very good study today. Thank you very much for your attention.
Since small children were also involved, we used modern machines to reduce work, but we were able to experience manual work using some old threshing machines.
The straw that has been carefully cut by hand is longer than cutting with a machine, and can also obtain good materials for roofing. I will dry it for about two weeks and use it next time as a material for building a house. I hope that living with familiar nature will be a project where you can feel it on your skin.
