毎朝の散歩道ではわが家周辺の「発寒川」公園緑地が
大きな通過ポイントになっております。
札幌は地形的には比較的に内陸に属すると思うのですが、
札幌の南西部山岳地帯から石狩湾に注ぐ多数の河川が扇状地を形成していて
海岸線からは15kmくらい内陸なのに市西部・山の手地区でカモメの鳴き声。
カモメたちがその河川に沿って河川と海の間を行き来して魚を狙っている。
そういう様子と遭遇することが多い。
空を飛んでいる様子ではかれらの捕食行動はあんまりわからないけれど、
川の周囲ではときどきその捕食行動を目の当たりにする。
カラスと違ってやや穏やかな棲息ぶりを想像することが多いけれど、
写真のように捕食行動ではカラス並みの行動ぶりが明らかであります。
まぁ当然だけれど、その目線を凝視するとなかなかの精悍、獰猛さを感じる。
殺気をその目線から放っている・・・。
やや大型の魚が餌食になった様子を淡々とカメラに収めた次第。
弱肉強食の自然の摂理は都市環境の中でも貫徹されている。

きのう出張移動を始めた前後から、写真のような光景が世界中に配信。
（写真・ロイター／アフロ）〜Yahooページから。
政治権力闘争的な状況はよく知りませんが、弱肉強食的な生々しさ。
なかなかに激烈なことがこういう情報配信から伝わってくる。
毛沢東の権力集中・文化大革命という悲劇を生んだことから、
中国なりの権力の開明化が進むと世界資本主義体制は「期待」したけれど、
どうも時計の針は再び大きく暗転しつつあるのかも知れません。
外国メディアの目の前で公然と前権力トップを強制排除するとは。
どうも宮廷革命状況がこの現代で起こったのではないかと推測。
中国のことは中国自身が決めていくしかないでしょうが、
他国からすると現代世界の行方にも関わることで注目せざるを得ない。
衝撃の大きさに比べアメリカなどの反応はいまのところ、それほど出ていない。
一応内政的なことなので他国政府としてはコメントしにくいのでしょう。
しかし、こういう映像が平然と流れる違和感、怖い政体という認識が
世界に認識共有されることに平然とした国であることは伝わる。
政治経済的な混乱・危機が世界に影響する可能性は高い。
日本の政治経済にも今後の不透明要素になってくることでしょうね。

さて昨日は久しぶりに仙台へ移動しました。
感染症の蔓延があり一方でテレワークなどの環境整備が進んで
社内的コミュニケーションは不足なくできるので出張は控えていました。
しかし今回仙台事務所を移転させたこともあって、整理整頓での出張。
久しぶりの仙台の空気感に懐かしさも感じている次第です。

Seagull predatory behavior in Sapporo, Japan: Nature’s law of the law of the jungle.
Seagulls are also birds of prey. The ferocity of their eyes is astonishing. The world is watching, and the center of power is being forcibly eliminated. A neighboring giant nation that is difficult to distance itself from. The world is watching.

Every morning, the “Hassamu River” park is a major passing point on my morning walk.
It is a major passing point on my morning walk.
Topographically speaking, Sapporo belongs to a relatively inland area.
However, there are many rivers flowing into Ishikari Bay from the mountainous area in the southwest of Sapporo, forming a fan-shaped area, and the city is about 15 km inland from the coastline.
Even though the city is about 15 km inland from the coastline, seagulls were heard in the Yamanote area in the western part of the city.
Seagulls are coming and going along the rivers between the rivers and the sea to catch fish.
I often encounter this kind of situation.
Although their predatory behavior is not so obvious when they are flying in the sky, they are sometimes seen around the river.
But sometimes we can see their preying behavior around the river.
Unlike crows, we often imagine them to live in a rather peaceful habitat.
However, as you can see in the photo, their predatory behavior is as obvious as that of crows.
It is natural, but if you stare into their eyes, you can feel their fearlessness and ferocity.
They are emitting a deadly spirit from their eyes.
I took a picture of a rather large fish that had become a prey.
The natural order of the law of the law of the jungle is still in effect in the urban environment.

The photo-like scene was distributed around the world before and after he began his business trip move yesterday.
(Photo, Reuters/Afro) – From Yahoo page.
I don’t know much about the political power struggle-like situation, but it is very raw, like a weak man and a strong man.
It is quite intense, and this kind of information distribution conveys that.
Since the tragedy of Mao Zedong’s concentration of power and the Cultural Revolution that ensued.
The world capitalist system “hoped” that China’s power would become more open and transparent, but the clock seems to be ticking again.
However, the hands of the clock may be turning dark again.
The removal of the former head of power in public in front of foreign media.
I suspect that a court revolution situation may have occurred in this modern era.
China will have to make its own decisions about its own affairs.
But from the point of view of other countries, we have to pay attention to the situation as it relates to the future of the modern world.
Compared to the magnitude of the impact, the reaction of the United States and other countries has not been so great so far.
It is probably difficult for governments of other countries to comment on the situation since it is an internal political matter.
However, the fact that such images are being shown in such a manner is disconcerting, and the perception of a frightening political system is being shared around the world.
However, it is clear that this is a country that is not afraid of being recognized and shared with the rest of the world as a scary regime.
There is a high possibility that political and economic turmoil and crisis will affect the world.
I am sure it will be an uncertain factor for Japan’s political economy in the future as well.

Well, yesterday I moved to Sendai for the first time in a while.
On the one hand, there is an epidemic of infectious diseases, and on the other hand, the teleworking environment has been improved, so there is no lack of communication within the company.
I had been refraining from business trips to Sendai because of the spread of infectious diseases and the teleworking environment, etc., which allows us to communicate internally without any shortage of communication.
However, this time I moved the Sendai office, so I had to go on a business trip to get things in order.
I am feeling nostalgic for the atmosphere of Sendai after a long time.

長谷川豪　建築家。1977年生まれ。長谷川豪建築設計事務所主宰。
東京工業大学非常勤講師、ハーバード大学デザイン大学院客員教授、
カリフォルニア大学ロサンゼルス校客員教授等を歴任。
受賞歴にSDレビュー2005鹿島賞、平成19年東京建築士会住宅建築賞金賞受賞、
第24回新建築賞受賞、AR Design Vanguard 2014など。
という建築家の建築がニセコに最近建てられたということで、
わたしはまったく予備知識なく、カミさんに引きずり回されて参観。

建物は平屋で、平面形状はなだらかな曲線形。
ニセコという、いまや日本ではなく多国籍化したような場所に建っている。
北海道の風景というのは札幌のような局所では機能集中的な部分と
それ以外の基本的に伸びやかであったり、厳しかったりする
あんまり加工されていない背景が得られる。
この建物は接道する国道５号線からはいったん側道のような道に下りて
すぐに右折して砂利道に進入するような配置。
いまのところ、なのか、意図的なのかはよくわかりません。
駐車スペースはあるけれど、舗装はされていなくて
緑の芝生に対して遠慮気味に脇に置かれている。
ということで、正面外観的には緑の芝生越しに小さな入口がひっそりと見える。
店内に入っていくと、一応カフェメニューがあるけれど、
メインは美容ブランド拠点という機能建築であることがわかる。
構造は木造で廊下のような内部スペースが、並行して流れている小川に対して
それと対話するかのように配置されていることがわかる。
できる限り自然の呼吸感と同期するような意図を感じさせられる。
わたしはよく商品を知りませんが、きっとそういうコンセプトが
この美容ブランドのアピールポイントなのだろうと思えました。

ふだんはなにげに「なんもないな」とクルマからドライブするだけの景色。
しかしこういう建築がそこに置かれることで
対比的に風景と土地感が切り取られて感受されてくる。
お店に滞在している時間、来店してくるのはほぼアベック＆若い女性グループ。
「キャー、めっちゃいくね？」
みたいなちょっと関西訛りの３人の若い女性たちなど微笑ましい。
そういう空気感、ようやく行動制限が緩和されてきて
久しぶりに北海道らしい自然と日本社会の関係性が復元してきている。
ニセコ地域ではこれからの渡航制限の撤廃などを受けて
これまでの「多国籍化」がもっと拍車がかかるような雰囲気も感じます。

ここのところ、一気に情報交流の堰が切られてきて
たくさんの人と対話することが増えてきて
多少、ヒートアップ気味。週末からは東北・東京へ。
本日はちょっとクールダウンするような写真集ブログとしてみました。

Beauty brand base 〈ICOR NISEKO〉 in Niseko Town.
This week and next week, information exchange will be more active and heated up at once, right? Today, I’d like to share some architectural photos to cool down your mind. I’ll try to be more like an architectural photo blog today.

Goh Hasegawa Architect, born in 1977. President of Goh Hasegawa Architects & Engineers. Part-time lecturer at Tokyo Institute of Technology.
He has been a part-time lecturer at Tokyo Institute of Technology, a visiting professor at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and a visiting professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Major awards include the SD Review 2005 Kajima Prize, the 2007 Tokyo Society of Architects & Building Engineers Residential Architecture Award, the 24th Shinkenchiku Award, and the 24th Shinkenchiku Award.
24th Shinkenchiku Award, AR Design Vanguard 2014, and others.
I had no prior knowledge of the architect’s work, and was surprised to learn that he had recently built a new building in Niseko.
My wife dragged me to visit the building without any prior knowledge.

The building is a one-story building with a gently curving plan.
It is located in Niseko, a place that now seems to have become a multinational rather than a Japanese one.
The landscape of Hokkaido is divided into functionally intensive areas such as Sapporo, and other areas that are basically expansive.
The landscape of Hokkaido is a combination of functionally-intensive areas such as Sapporo, and other areas that are basically relaxed and austere.
The building is located on a national highway adjacent to the road.
The building is located on a side road off of National Route 5, and is immediately turned right onto a gravel road.
The building is located off of Route 5, which is a side road, and then immediately turns right onto a gravel road.
I am not sure if this is the case at the moment or if it is intentional.
There is a parking space, but it is not paved.
The parking space is not paved and is set aside against the green lawn.
So, from the front exterior, a small entrance can be seen quietly over the green lawn.
When you enter the store, you will find a café menu, but the main focus is on the functional architecture of a beauty brand center.
The main structure is wooden and looks like a corridor.
The structure is wooden, with a corridor-like interior space arranged as if in dialogue with a stream running parallel to it.
The interior spaces are arranged as if they were in dialogue with the stream running parallel to them.
The intention is to synchronize with the breath of nature as much as possible.
I am not familiar with the product, but I am sure that such a concept is the appeal point of this beauty brand.
I am not familiar with the products, but I thought that such a concept must be the appealing point of this beauty brand.

Normally, I would just casually drive by the scenery from my car and think, “There is nothing here.
However, when this kind of architecture is placed there
the landscape and the feeling of the land are cut out and perceived in contrast.
During the time I stayed at the store, almost all of the customers were young women and groups of young men and women.
They were all saying, “Wow, isn’t this place really cool?
The three young women with Kansai accents were very funny.
It was such an atmosphere, and finally the restrictions on activities eased.
For the first time in a long time, the relationship between nature and Japanese society that is typical of Hokkaido is being restored.
In the Niseko area, with the removal of travel restrictions, etc., the “multinationalization” of the past is more likely to take place.
I also feel that the “multinationalization” that has been taking place in the Niseko area will be spurred on even more.

These days, the dam of information exchange has been cut in one fell swoop
I am having more and more dialogues with a lot of people
I am feeling somewhat heated up. From the weekend, I will be in Tohoku and Tokyo.
Today’s blog is a collection of photos to cool down a bit.

昨日は新住協北海道の数年ぶりのリアル地区大会。
18-19の両日日程が組まれていましたがわたしは別件での先約があって
18日はどうしてもムリで、19日もここ１年以上取り組んできた業務の中締め。
やむなく欠席の予定でしたが、昨日の朝、わが家周辺の「発寒川緑地」散歩中に
ご近所住まいの道総研理事・鈴木大隆さんとバッタリ。
・・・って、なぜか氏の愛犬との相性がいいのか、不思議と出会う（笑）。
で、日中は鎌田紀彦先生との「対論」が日程予定されているのも知っていたので
「いや〜、きょうはお疲れさまです・・・」となにげにあいさつ。
そこから相性のいいイヌと連れだって散歩会議。
わたしは鈴木さんが座長を務められている北海道の「北方型住宅」諮問会議の
メンバーとしてながく参加させていただいているご縁もあるので
今回の「北方型住宅ZERO」の策定にあたっての企画経緯なども情報共有しています。
鎌田先生が領導される新住協という日本の住宅性能運動の中核と、
きょうがその最初の接点になる、ということでの心理的な微妙な緊張感。
とくに鈴木さんは鎌田紀彦先生の弟子という立場とはいえ、
同じ「住宅性能」論領域では立場的に意見に違いが出てくることもある。
そうした部分が伝わってきて、そうか、と頓悟しまして、
わたしは先約の会合についてはスタッフに任せることにして
急遽、新住協大会に参加してみることにした次第です。
まぁ別になにができるわけでもないけれど、場合によっては憎まれ役くらいは
お鉢が回ってくるかも知れないというところ（笑）。

ということで案の定、鈴木さんの講演中から鎌田先生からの「質問」多数。
それも日本の住宅性能の推移の核心に迫る論議内容。
また鈴木さんから建築行政のたくさんの背景的情報などもあって、
師弟の間のかなり白熱した論議内容が開示されていました。
「これはちょっと住宅工務店向けの内容を超えているのでは・・・」と
わたしとしては興味津々の部分でもあったのですが、急遽申し込んだので
席は一番最後の方で語尾が正確には聞き取れませんでした、としておきます。
しかし論議は白熱したけれど、２枚の図で示したナカミ、
具体的に２枚目の鎌田先生の北海道の住宅のミライとして示したエネルギー目標と
３枚目の「北方型住宅ZERO」のポイント制という制度設計について
ハッキリとした方向性の同意一致が確認されたと思います。
鎌田先生からは各ポイント制の詳細内容については吟味が必要だけれど
先生自身もかねてからユーザー理解も含めてポイント制が
いちばんわかりやすく実践的だという判断が示されていました。
これはReplan誌面での連載記事でもかねてからそのような記述が表現されています。

ということで論議内容の概要の概要みたいですが（笑）
やがて新住協北海道支部から内容の詳細解説が発出されることを期待します。
あ、ときどき前振りでわたしの名前が使われた程度で
「実はあいつが悪い」みたいな展開は辛うじて免れホッといたしました（笑）。

Norihiko Kamada – Hirotaka Suzuki Dialogue
A dialogue between two people who are at the core of improving housing performance in Japan. Beyond a heated debate, the two men move on to resonate with the framework of “Northern-style housing ZERO”. Norihiko Kamada

Yesterday was the first real regional convention of Shinjyukyo Hokkaido in several years.
The schedule was set for the 18th and 19th, but I was unable to attend on the 18th due to other commitments.
I was unable to attend on the 18th due to other commitments, and on the 19th, I had to close out the work I have been doing for more than a year.
I had no choice but to miss the meeting, but yesterday morning, while taking a walk in the Hassamu River greenbelt near my house, I met a friend of mine who lives in the neighborhood, the president of the Hokkaido General Assembly.
I bumped into Mr. Hirotaka Suzuki, Director of the Hokkaido Research Institute, who lives in the neighborhood.
I wondered why he and his dog were so compatible with each other (laugh).
I knew that he was scheduled to have a “discussion” with Dr. Norihiko Kamata during the day, so I said to him, “Oh no, I’m so tired today.
I casually greeted him by saying, “Well, thank you for your hard work today….
From there, I went for a walking meeting with my dog, with whom I have a good rapport.
I have been a member of the Advisory Council for “Northern-style Housing” in Hokkaido, chaired by Mr. Suzuki.
I have been a member of the Hokkaido “Northern Housing” Advisory Council, chaired by Mr. Suzuki, for a long time.
I also share information about the planning process of the “Northern Style Housing ZERO” project.
Today is the first point of contact between the core of the Japanese housing performance movement, Shinjyukyo, led by Mr. Kamata, and the “Northern Housing ZERO” project.
I felt a subtle psychological tension because today is the first point of contact with the core of the Japanese housing performance movement, the New Jyukyo, which is led by Mr. Kamata.
Especially, Mr. Suzuki, even though he is a disciple of Dr. Norihiko Kamata.
Although Mr. Suzuki is a disciple of Mr. Norihiko Kamata, there are differences of opinion in the same area of “housing performance” from a standpoint.
I was able to get a sense of this, and I am glad to hear it.
I decided to leave the matter of the meeting to my staff.
I decided to attend the New Residential Association Convention.
Well, it’s not that I can do anything, but I might be asked to play a role
I was not really able to do anything, but I might be asked to play a role in some cases (laugh).

As expected, Mr. Kamata asked many questions during Mr. Suzuki’s lecture.
The content of the discussion went right to the heart of the transition of housing performance in Japan.
Mr. Suzuki also provided a lot of background information on building administration.
The content of the heated discussion between master and disciple was disclosed.
I was curious about some of the content, saying, “This is a bit beyond the scope of a residential construction company…”
I was also very interested in the discussion, but I had to rush to attend the meeting.
However, since I had to rush to attend the meeting, I was seated at the very end of the table and could not hear the end of each word correctly.
The discussion was heated, but I could not understand what was going on in the Nakami shown in the two diagrams.
Specifically, the energy target shown by Dr. Kamata on the second page as “Mirai” for housing in Hokkaido, and the energy target on the third page as “Northern-style housing” for housing in the northern region.
The third one is the point system design of “Northern-style house ZERO”.
I believe that we were able to confirm a clear agreement on the direction of the project.
Dr. Kamata said that although the details of each point system need to be examined, he himself has long been aware of the importance of users’ understanding.
However, Dr. Kamada himself has long been of the opinion that the point system, including user understanding, is the easiest and most practical to understand.
Dr. Kamata himself has long expressed his judgment that the point system is the easiest to understand and the most practical, including the understanding of users.
This has also been expressed for some time in his serial articles in Replan magazine.

So this sounds like an overview of the content of the discussion (laughs).
I hope that the Hokkaido branch of Shinjyukyo will soon issue a detailed explanation of the contents.
I hope that the Hokkaido Branch of the New Jyukyo will soon issue a detailed explanation of the contents.
I am relieved that I was not used as a preface to the article, and that I was not used in any way that would make it sound like “Actually, it was his fault” (laugh).

いろいろと論議の多い公共放送NHKであります。
国鉄は民営化されたけれど、もっと巨大な問題組織であるNHK、
あるいは国民共有財である電波利用を許認可で得ているに過ぎない民間放送が
さまざまな問題を起こしているのに既存メディアではスルーされている問題。
菅政権ではそうした改革が進む方向性が示されていたけれど
いまの政権からは、どういう政策を実現したいのか見えてこない。・・・

というところですが、個人的にはNHKのBSのニッチテーマ番組は好き（笑）。
民間ではコスパが悪く放送できない興味深い番組が放送されることがある。
先日カミさんが「きっと面白いと言いそうだから」と録画していてくれた番組。
「松下奈緒 聖徳太子1400年への旅」という番組で9/28に放送されていた。
先日法隆寺宮大工・西岡常一さんの弟子・小川三夫氏の講演取材を書きましたが
法隆寺古建築についての時代背景や存続してきた状況の掘り起こしテーマ。
ということでチェックして見たら非常に面白い内容に触れていた。
なんと、千年を超える世界最古の木造建築として歴世の改修履歴があり
小屋組の補強として今で言う「プレカット規格材」が使われていたと言う内容。
法隆寺は飛鳥時代、聖徳太子が建立した本格的国家公共事業・仏教建築。
四天王寺や飛鳥寺などが火災被害で後世に建て替えられたのに対して
創建間もなく一度火災消失したけれどその時点での再建以降、
今日まで世界最古の歴史を刻んできている、日本人のこころのシンボル。
このように長い歴史を刻んできたのにはそれこそ歴世の大工たちの
心魂を傾けた存続努力があったことは誰にもわかる道理。
考えて見ると法隆寺というのは建築「リフォーム」の象徴とも言える。
現代のリフォームはひたすら世界共通デザインに帰依しているけれど
日本の匠たちは原形デザインにリスペクトするこころを持ち続けてきた。
先日聞いていた小川三夫氏の講演でも、長期時間的荷重を受けて構造補強を
繰り返してきた様子をお話しされていたけれど、
聖徳太子没後、国家建築から一民間建築になっていた段階で維持管理には
ひと筋ではない苦難の経緯もあったとされていた。
今回の番組では、奈良期以降に施された構造補強の解析が説明され
26×21cmの統一的規格材が小屋裏各所に使用されている状況の活写。
番組では、創建時には各部位の材もそれぞれ独自の太さ・厚みの材が使われたが
法隆寺の経済的困窮を反映して規格材が使われていたのでは、という視点構成。
しかしわたし的には、構造補強材であり各部位での微妙な劣化変位を調整するには
一定寸法の部材の方が大工側としては合理的だったのではないかと思えた。
どうやって強度補強するかと考えたとき、
部材は一定寸法の方が現場対応しやすいのではないかと思えたのですね。
法隆寺宮大工も1400年間にはいろいろな「工夫」を考えたに違いない。
小川さんの言では大工の数だけ、手法に違いは出る、
要は木組みのクセを読み、最適な手法を発見するのが肝要ということではないか。
規格材という発想もむしろ合理主義と構造強化現場対応を表現している。

先人の「合理主義」の実証が垣間見えたようで、
非常に面白く拝見していた。・・・もうちょっと合理的にはして欲しいけれど
わたし、NHK料金はきちんと納入しております（笑）。

Horyu-ji Temple Pre-cut Lumber Used to Reinforce Timber Framing
A symbol of proud architectural renovation. The use of standardized dimensions was adopted for economic reasons, but the unification of lumber is rational for structural reinforcement. …

NHK is a highly controversial public broadcaster.
The Japanese National Railways (JNR) has been privatized, but NHK, an even larger problematic organization, or private broadcasting, which is merely licensed to use the public’s common property, the airwaves, is not.
Or private broadcasters who only have a license to use the public’s common property, the airwaves, are causing all sorts of problems that are not being addressed by the existing media.
The Kan administration is making progress in such reforms.
The Kan administration showed a direction for such reforms, but the current administration has not yet realized what policies are needed.
The current administration does not seem to have a clear idea of what kind of policies it wants to achieve. I am not sure what kind of policies the current administration is trying to achieve.

Personally, I like NHK’s BS niche theme programs (laugh).
Sometimes they broadcast interesting programs that cannot be aired in the private sector due to poor cost performance.
The other day, my wife recorded a program that she thought I would find interesting.
It was called “Nao Matsushita: A Journey to the 1,400th Anniversary of Prince Shotoku” and was broadcast on September 28.
The other day, I wrote about a lecture by Mitsuo Ogawa, a pupil of Tsunekazu Nishioka, a carpenter of Horyuji Temple.
The theme of the program is to dig up the historical background and the situation that has survived about the ancient architecture of Horyuji Temple.
So I checked it out and saw that it touched on a very interesting subject.
To my surprise, there is a history of renovation in successive generations as the world’s oldest wooden building over 1,000 years old
The content said that “pre-cut standard lumber,” as it is called today, was used to reinforce the hut assembly.
Horyu-ji Temple was built by Prince Shotoku during the Asuka period (710-794), and was a full-scale national public works and Buddhist architecture.
While Shitennoji Temple and Asukadera Temple were rebuilt in later periods due to fire damage, Horyuji Temple was destroyed by fire once soon after its construction.
The temple was destroyed by fire shortly after its construction, but since its reconstruction at that time, it has been the oldest building in the world to this day.
It is a symbol of the spirit of the Japanese people.
The reason for this long history is due to the efforts of successive generations of carpenters who have devoted their hearts and souls to the preservation of the temple.
The reason why Horyu-ji Temple has carved out such a long history is obvious to anyone who knows.
Horyu-ji Temple is a symbol of architectural “renovation.
Modern renovation has been relying solely on universal design.
Japanese craftsmen have kept the spirit of respect for the original design.
In a lecture given by Mitsuo Ogawa the other day, he talked about how he has repeatedly reinforced the structure under long-term loads.
He also talked about how he repeatedly reinforced the structure under long-term loads.
After the death of Prince Shotoku, the building was transformed from a national building to a private building.
However, after the death of Prince Shotoku, the building was transformed from a national building to a private one, and there were some difficulties in its maintenance.
In this program, an analysis of the structural reinforcement applied after the Nara period was explained.
The program also showed the use of 26 x 21 cm standardized lumber in various parts of the back of the building.
The program also explains that at the time of construction, each part of the building was made of its own thickness and thickness, but that this was not the case at the time of Horyuji’s economic hardship.
However, I think that the standardized lumber may have been used to reflect the economic difficulties of Horyuji Temple.
However, in my opinion, it is better to use a material of a certain size for structural reinforcement and to adjust for subtle deterioration and displacement in each part of the structure.
I think it would have been more reasonable for the carpenters to use members with fixed dimensions.
When I thought about how to strengthen and reinforce the structure
I thought that it would be easier to deal with the members of a certain size at the site.
The carpenters of the Horyuji Palace must have thought of various “devices” during the 1,400 years of their construction.
Mr. Ogawa says that as many carpenters as there are, there will be differences in their methods.
In short, it is important to read the peculiarities of woodworking and find the most appropriate method.
The idea of standardized lumber is also an expression of rationalism and on-site response to structural reinforcement.

It seemed as if I caught a glimpse of a demonstration of our predecessors’ “rationalism.
It was very interesting to watch. I wish they would be a little more rational, but…
I have been paying my NHK bill properly (laugh).

昨日今日２日間は北海道が会場になっての国の住宅月間の中央イベント開催。
その一環としての岩見沢市での大工技能関連の催事に取材参加。
さきに「削ろう会」を見学して来ましたが、こちら詳細は明日以降に。
夕方からは鵤工舎・小川三夫氏講演・対談会に参加していました。
氏は、法隆寺宮大工・西岡常一さんの弟子。
西岡氏は法隆寺の昭和の改修工事に取り組んでいたが、
工法を巡って国の諮問機関「建築工学博士」たちから構造補強のために
金物補強すべきであるという方針指示を受けた際に
「打ち首にされても、そんなことはできない」とその方針を拒否したとされる。
いわば魂の部分でのその「正嫡」と言える存在が小川氏。
お話しからはまさに西岡さんの魂魄を身を以て受け継いでいる気迫が伝わる。
「宮大工は社寺仏閣専門であり、家を建てる家大工とは流れが違う」
「しかし、手業・魂魄としては同じ」というのが氏の考え。
北海道で家大工として技術の存続継承に強い思いを持つみなさんが参集された。

木と向き合って体で関わっていく大工仕事は内語しながらの営為。
体技としての大工技能については当方には素養は無く
その精神性の部分を共有するよう内語で翻訳しながら対話していた。
自分たちのそれぞれの仕事領域で経験する内語と比較しながら、
働くということの本質について対語することになるのが自然でしょう。
体技習得とは労働基準法みたいな社会制度とはモノサシが違う。
心得という本質部分ではそうであることは伝わってくる。
そしてそれは「日本のものづくり」の本質部分の解析でもあると思われた。
いま日本の円安が進行しているけれど、ある意味では
世界の資本主義からのサインとして世界の製造業の中心に
日本が復活すべきであると後押しされているようにも思える。
事実、いろいろな企業分野で日本に製造拠点を復元させる動きがある。
半導体の製造拠点が九州に作られたり、アイリスオーヤマが中国から撤退して
日本国内で製造ラインを再構築するという発表。
自動車企業でも中国の生産ラインをまったく区分けしてその他の世界で
生産ラインを独自に生成する取り組みが活発に展開してきている。
報道される事象をはるかに超えてこうした動きは加速しているのだろう。
戦後日本の復興はものづくり製造業が世界の需要の追い風を受けたものだった。
そういう現在認識のなかで小川氏の講演・対談は視点価値があると思われた。
課題はたくさんある。
会場からの声では「ひとづくり」教育現場での現状に絶望した悲嘆的発言も。
しかし、わたし的には日本の大工体技伝統に象徴される魂魄のコアな部分が
社会全体に根付いていることを信じたいと思います。
魂魄の部分でのものづくりパワーは
日本人の意識の底流に根強くあり続けていると信じて取り組んでいくしかない。

労働基準法のような枠組みは受容した上で、魂魄は根太く継承していく。
そう考えていくことで世界の中で「ものづくり大国・日本」は生き残れる。
そんな内語・期待感を反芻しながら帰路に着いていた。

What is the “Inheritance of Physical Skill”? Lecture and discussion by Mitsuo Ogawa, a member of the Japanese Manufacturing Industry]
The current depreciation of the yen is a tailwind for Japan’s manufacturing industry. In fact, the manufacturing industry is making a comeback in many business fields. Let us consider the spirit of monozukuri. ……

Yesterday and today, Hokkaido was the venue for the central event of the national housing month.
As part of the event, I covered a carpentry-related event in Iwamizawa City.
I visited the “Shirouki-ro-kai” (cutting workshop) earlier, but I will give you more details tomorrow.
In the evening, I attended a lecture and discussion with Mitsuo Ogawa of Ikaruga Kosha.
Mr. Ogawa is a disciple of Tsunekazu Nishioka, the master carpenter of Horyuji Temple.
Mr. Nishioka was working on the Showa renovation of Horyuji Temple.
He was working on the renovation of Horyuji Temple in the Showa period (1926-1989), when he received a directive from the national advisory body for structural reinforcement from “doctors of architectural engineering.
When he was instructed by the government’s advisory body, “architectural engineering doctors,” to reinforce the structure with metal reinforcement, Nishioka said
He is said to have rejected this policy, saying, “Even if I am beheaded, I cannot do such a thing.
Mr. Ogawa is the “legitimate heir” of Mr. Nishioka’s soul, so to speak.
His speech conveys the spirit of Mr. Nishioka, who has inherited his spirit and soul through his own body.
He said, “Shrine carpenters specialize in shrines, temples, and Buddhist temples, which is different from the process of house carpenters who build houses.
However, the handiwork and spirit of the carpenters are the same.
The participants were all carpenters in Hokkaido who have a strong desire to continue their skills as house carpenters.

Carpentry, which involves facing the wood with one’s body, is an activity done while speaking internally.
I have no background in carpentry skills as a physical skill.
We were talking to each other, translating in our own language so that we could share the spirituality of the work.
We were comparing the internal language of our own work with the internal language we experienced in our respective fields of work.
It would be natural to have a dialogue about the nature of work.
Physical skill acquisition is not the same thing as a social system like the Labor Standards Act.
It is conveyed that it is so in the essential part of “Kokoro Gakushu”.
And it seems to be an analysis of the essence of “Japanese monozukuri.
The yen is weakening in Japan, but in a sense, it is a sign from the world capitalism that the world’s manufacturing system is not the same as Japan’s.
It is a sign from the world capitalism that Japan should revive its position at the center of the world’s manufacturing industry.
Japan should revive its position as the center of the world’s manufacturing industry.
In fact, there is a movement to restore manufacturing bases in Japan in various business fields.
There have been announcements that semiconductor manufacturing facilities will be built in Kyushu, that Iris Okayama will withdraw from China and rebuild its manufacturing lines in Japan, and so on.
Iris Okayama has announced that it will withdraw from China and rebuild its manufacturing line in Japan.
Automobile companies are also moving to create their own production lines in other parts of the world by completely separating their production lines in China from the rest of the world.
The trend is far beyond what is reported in the media.
These developments are probably accelerating far beyond what is reported in the media.
Japan’s postwar revival was a result of the manufacturing industry benefiting from a tailwind of global demand.
In this context, I thought Mr. Ogawa’s lecture and discussion were worthwhile.
There are many issues to be addressed.
Some in the audience expressed despair over the current state of “human resource development” in the field of education.
However, I would like to believe that the core of the spirit symbolized by the Japanese carpentry tradition has taken root in the society as a whole.
I would like to believe that the core of the spirit and soul symbolized by the Japanese carpentry tradition has taken root in the society as a whole.
The power of monozukuri in the spirit of the soul is
We have no choice but to work on it, believing that it continues to be deeply rooted in the undercurrent of the Japanese people’s consciousness.

While accepting a framework such as the Labor Standards Law, the spirit of monozukuri must be passed on from generation to generation.
By thinking in this way, “Japan, a manufacturing powerhouse,” can survive in the world.
I was on my way back home, ruminating on such internal words and expectations.
