しばし孫育てからの休暇の旅路に夫婦で向かっております。
　昨日、102歳の一族の最長老の叔父との会話のことを書き、多くの方から「102歳ですか〜」という驚きの声をいただきました。たしかに平均からは突出しているかも知れませんが、最近のわたしたち70-80年代も実際に平均寿命と「健康寿命」がどんどん伸びてきている。その原因として若年成長期での「栄養状態」の改善が大きいという説があると書きました。それについて読者の方から疑問の声がありましたが、自宅札幌から函館まで、およそ400km弱のゆるゆるあちこち寄り道三昧の旅路・ロングドライブ中で「論拠」的な返信ができずにいました。その意味で、お詫びいたします。で、ホテルで落ち着いて。
　わたし的にはこの説に納得しているのですが、ひとつの「説」であることは事実でしょう。
　AIの回答を借りれば、〜高齢者の寿命の伸びに成長期（幼少期〜思春期）の栄養状態の改善が大きく関与しているという説は、公衆衛生学や疫学において確実な科学的根拠があるとされる〜とのこと。根拠引用として、理化学研究所HPが紹介されている。
　専門的には「DOHaD（健康と疾患の発生起源説）」や「コホート効果（世代効果）」として世界中で研究されており、幼少期の栄養状態が数十年後の高齢期の死亡率を左右することが実証されているとのこと。（理化学研究所の論文解説などでも紹介されている通り）。
　かつて日本人に脚気が多かった時代、それを伝染病由来と捉えて対策が遅れた結果、日露戦争では（責任者として森鷗外の名も記されている）戦闘による戦死者を上回るほどの病者・死者を出したという歴史的教訓もあるとされていた。日本の学問の中に「栄養学」という概念がまだ存在していなかった時代の悲劇という認識。
　要するに「栄養学」という考え方が日本の学会に存在してこなかったのでしょう。
　この情報を知ってわたしは庶民感覚として強い興味を覚えていた。そういうことで叔父の健康ぶりを見ながら、その「枕言葉的な説」引用として書いた次第。この説をどう捉えるかは読者の皆様のご判断にお任せします。

　写真は、道南の恵山で見た観音像と、路傍にあった地蔵。
　日本人として庶民の、いのちに対しての向き合い方はこういった心象なのでしょう。高齢期になってきてごく自然にこういう心象へ近づいていく次第。とくに「路傍の地蔵」に耽溺させられます。

[A Trip to Southern Hokkaido to Admire Houseplants; My Heart Is Drawn to Two Buddhist Statues]
I listened to a 102-year-old elder speak about “how to face life” in old age, and my understanding of nutrition and health has deepened. I pray that I may one day become a Jizo statue by the roadside. …

　My husband and I are currently on a short vacation together, taking a break from helping raise our grandchildren.
Yesterday, I wrote about a conversation I had with my uncle—the eldest member of our family at 102 years old—and received many surprised reactions from readers saying, “102 years old?!” While that may indeed be well above average, for those of us in our 70s and 80s today, both average life expectancy and “healthy life expectancy” have been steadily increasing. I wrote that one theory attributes this largely to improvements in “nutritional status” during early childhood. Some readers raised questions about this, but since I was on a long, leisurely drive from my home in Sapporo to Hakodate—a journey of just under 400 km filled with plenty of detours—I wasn’t able to provide a well-reasoned response. I apologize for that. Now that I’m settled in the hotel…
　Personally, I find this theory convincing, but it is, after all, just one “theory.”
　According to an AI response, “the theory that improvements in nutritional status during the growth period (from childhood through adolescence) play a major role in the increase in life expectancy among the elderly is considered to have solid scientific evidence in public health and epidemiology.” As a source of evidence, the RIKEN website is cited.
　From a technical standpoint, this is being researched worldwide under the terms “DOHaD (Developmental Origins of Health and Disease)” and “cohort effect (generational effect),” and it has been demonstrated that nutritional status during early childhood influences mortality rates in old age decades later (as described in RIKEN’s paper commentaries and other sources).
　There is also a historical lesson from a time when beriberi was prevalent among the Japanese population: because the condition was mistakenly perceived as an infectious disease, countermeasures were delayed. As a result, during the Russo-Japanese War (with Mori Ōgai listed as one of those responsible), the number of people who fell ill or died from beriberi reportedly exceeded the number of combat-related fatalities. This is recognized as a tragedy from an era when the concept of “nutrition science” did not yet exist within Japanese academia.
　In short, the concept of “nutrition” likely did not exist within Japanese academic circles at that time.
　Upon learning this information, I felt a strong sense of curiosity from the perspective of an ordinary person. That is why, while observing my uncle’s good health, I wrote this as a reference to that “bedtime story-like theory.” I leave it to the readers to decide how to interpret this theory.

　The photos show a Kannon statue I saw at Mt. Esan in southern Hokkaido and a Jizo statue by the roadside.
　As a Japanese person, I believe this is the kind of mindset ordinary people have toward life. As I enter my later years, I find myself naturally gravitating toward this way of thinking. I am particularly captivated by the “Jizo by the roadside.”

　初雪の便りも聞かれ、クルマのタイヤも交換して、いよいよ北海道は冬支度にまっしぐら。高齢者夫婦も体調管理をしっかりして冬に備えたいところ。
　カミさんの風邪気味体調がようやく立ち直ってきたので、彼女の希望に添って「北大のイチョウ並木」散策に出掛けておりました。わたしひとりなら札幌市西区山の手のわが家から、直行直退もギリギリ可能かも知れませんが、まぁクルマで駐車場まで往復して、そこからの北大構内散歩。それでも昨日は往復で夫婦とも、北大だけで10,000歩越え。
　北大のイチョウ並木は有名で昨日は「金葉祭り」までも開催されていました。しかしわたし的には北大生のための敷地内の「恵迪寮」壁面の「紅葉」ぶりの方が数寄。
　カミさんも「紅」には一家言があるようで、毎年「う〜ん、紅がもう少しイマイチ」という厳しい評価を聞かされていますが、どうも今年は及第点の参観箇所が多い。とくにこのツタの絡まる壁面紅葉ぶりは、建築美としても非常に個性的であります。
　わが家近くにも、この恵迪寮並みにツタが絡んで四季折々、たのしい外観を見せていただけれるお宅があるのですが、恵迪寮はやはり格別かなぁと。この恵迪寮は当然ながら北大の工学部など建築系のみなさんが創意を凝らした建築。世界的にも有数のすばらしい自然環境のなかで、建築がそれと「対話」している様子を表現してくれている。この寮は、写真のような本体建築が５つの方向に放射配置されて喉元のあたりから出入りするという形状。寮建築本体は合理性最優先ながら、このような北国としての表情変化の反映する壁面緑化が、ゆたかな表情を見せてくれている。
　イチョウ並木の方は地下鉄からの距離も近いので、たくさんの海外客のみなさんがたむろされていましたが、さすがに遠距離になるこちらの恵迪寮まではほぼ来られませんね。
　でもさすがにこういう日中の野外観光スポットということで、ちょっと覗いてみた北大構内の名物コンビニ店では、驚くほどの数の「お弁当」が販売され、しかもレジにも行列用の柵も臨時に設置されていました。かき入れ時なのでしょう。
　ゆっくり楽しめた秋の一日でした。帰宅後はほぼ完全バタンキュー（笑）。

[Hokkaido University Ginkgo Avenue & Keidai Dormitory: A Walk Among the Red and Yellow Foliage]
As expected, the ginkgo avenue during the Yellow Leaf Festival was crowded with international visitors, but the dormitory building at the very end was nearly deserted. The aesthetic beauty of architecture that engages with nature…

　With reports of the first snow already coming in and our car tires changed, Hokkaido is finally in full swing preparing for winter. As an elderly couple, we want to take good care of our health and get ready for the season.
Since my wife has finally started to recover from her cold, we went for a stroll along the “Hokkaido University Ginkgo Avenue” at her request. If I were on my own, depending on the situation, I might just barely manage to go straight there and back from our home in Yamanote, Nishi Ward, Sapporo—but really, we drove to the parking lot and back, then took a walk through the Hokkaido University campus from there. Even so, yesterday, just on the round trip to Hokkaido University alone, both my wife and I walked over 10,000 steps.
　The ginkgo tree-lined avenue at Hokkaido University is certainly famous, and yesterday they were even holding the “Autumn Foliage Festival.” However, personally, I find the “autumn colors” on the walls of the “Keidai Dormitory”—located on campus for Hokkaido University students—to be even more charming.
　My wife also seems to have strong opinions about “autumn colors,” and every year I hear her harsh critique: “Hmm, the reds are still a bit lacking.” But this year, there seem to be many spots that meet her standards. In particular, the autumn colors on this ivy-entwined wall are exceptionally unique, even as a work of architectural beauty.
　There’s a house near my home that’s just as covered in ivy as the Keidi Dormitory and offers a delightful exterior view throughout the seasons, but I still think the Keidi Dormitory is in a league of its own. Naturally, this dormitory is a structure designed with great creativity by students from Hokkaido University’s Faculty of Engineering and other architecture-related programs. Set within a natural environment that ranks among the world’s finest, it beautifully expresses how the architecture “dialogues” with its surroundings. The dormitory features the main building shown in the photo arranged in a radial pattern in five directions, with entrances and exits located near the base of the structure. While the main building prioritizes functionality above all else, the green walls—which reflect the changing seasons typical of this northern region—lend it a rich and varied appearance.
The ginkgo-lined avenue is close to the subway station, so many international visitors were gathered there, but as expected, almost none of them make it all the way out here to the Keidi Dormitory, which is quite a distance away.
　However, as this is a popular daytime outdoor tourist spot, I decided to take a quick peek inside the famous convenience store on the Hokkaido University campus. To my surprise, they were selling an astonishing number of “bento boxes,” and temporary barriers had even been set up at the checkout lines to manage the crowds. I suppose it’s peak season.
　It was a leisurely and enjoyable autumn day. After returning home, I practically collapsed into bed (lol).

　写真は久しぶりの札幌円山公園緑地の散歩道。札幌円山の山裾には原始の自然が、アメリカからの開拓技官たちの建言によって残されていますが、この「入口」近くになってくると北大構内とも近似した「札幌ネイティブ」な光景が迎えてくれます。好きな風景。
　ここから画面左手側の池方向に曲がっていくとオシドリやカモなどの水鳥の様子を愛でることができる。また、活発に動き回るリスたちとも遭遇することができる。いつも句読点を提供してくれる存在。
　で、タイトルのように今のわたしは「四百年間のいのちの履歴書」と名付けている家系史に没頭中。基本的に確認可能な事実を積み重ねたいと祈念しているので、大量の「地域史」文献の文字群から、血脈の痕跡を掘り出していく作業に没頭することになる。ひとつの事実が掘り出されると、それが次々と「つながって」またひとつの発見に立ち至る、という連続の中に沈殿することになるのですね。
　いまは、約310年以前の時期について、血脈が遭遇した時空間情報の「嵐」のなかで、暴風に打たれているような結界に立っている心境。
　やはりDNAの流れとして現実を生きた先人のことなので、切実に「自分事」に近い感覚に満たされてしまう。ある事実とある事実をつなぐとき、自分の内面やイキモノとしての内発性が強く刺激されるのですね。もちろん客観的につかめることが基本ではあるけれど、そこは血がどうしても騒ぐ。
　そういったハラハラドキドキが、自分のデスク環境に戻ると波瀾万丈展開するのですね（笑）。
　いや、笑い事ではなく、古文書の行間から激情が立ち上ってきてしまう。
　高齢期に立ち至ってまだ健康を維持できている多くの現代人にとって、調査でのAI活用や各種の記録文書の積層が膨大になって来ているこの時代では、興味深い新領域が広がってきている。
　・・・そういった環境から、脳味噌に「風を当てる」みたいにして散歩の風景が癒やしを与えてくれる。
　来週にはカミさんとふたたび道南を巡りたいと思っていますが、パソコンは大量データとともに同行する。現代人の環境はその「想像力」を拡張してくれることを深く実感させられますね。

[My head is spinning (lol) from this “family history” that travels through time and space]
The endpoint of my DNA’s journey—my inner self—is overflowing with the true nature of that process. An intriguing area of potential for today’s older adults. …

　The photo shows the walking path at Sapporo Maruyama Park, which I visited for the first time in a while. While the foothills of Sapporo’s Maruyama Mountain still retain their pristine natural state—preserved thanks to the recommendations of American pioneer engineers—as you approach this “entrance,” you’re greeted by a “Sapporo-native” landscape that closely resembles the campus of Hokkaido University. It’s one of my favorite views.
　If you turn toward the pond on the left side of the frame from here, you can admire waterfowl such as mandarin ducks and other ducks. You can also encounter squirrels scampering about—they’re always there to provide a bit of variety.
　So, as the title suggests, I’m currently immersed in a family history project I’ve dubbed “A 400-Year Resume of Life.” Since my goal is to build a foundation of verifiable facts, I find myself engrossed in the task of unearthing traces of my bloodline from the vast sea of text in “local history” literature. Once a single fact is unearthed, it “connects” to others one after another, leading to yet another discovery—and I find myself immersed in this continuous cycle.
　Right now, as I explore the period roughly 310 years ago, I feel as though I’m standing within a barrier, battered by a gale amidst a “storm” of spatiotemporal information where my bloodline intersected with history.
　Since these are our ancestors who lived their lives as part of the flow of DNA, I’m inevitably filled with a profound sense that this is “my own story.” When I connect one fact to another, it strongly stirs my inner self and my innate vitality as a living being. Of course, maintaining objectivity is fundamental, but my blood simply can’t help but boil.
　That sense of suspense and excitement unfolds in all sorts of dramatic ways once I return to my desk (laughs).
　No, this isn’t a laughing matter—passion really does rise up from between the lines of those ancient documents.
　For many modern people who have reached old age and are still in good health, in this era where the use of AI in research and the accumulation of various records are growing exponentially, a fascinating new frontier is opening up.
　…In such an environment, the scenery I encounter on my walks provides a soothing respite, as if “letting the breeze blow through my brain.”
　I’m hoping to tour southern Hokkaido with my wife again next week, though my computer—along with its massive amount of data—will be tagging along. It really makes me deeply appreciate how the modern environment expands our “imagination.”

　現在の札幌市西区山の手に移転してきて以降35年間ほど、いくらかは途中休みはあったにせよ、散歩習慣を継続してきています。はじめのうちはまだ30代だったので特段健康留意という目的意識は強くはなく、周辺環境に「なじむ」ことが目的で、そのうちに歩き続けていると適度な視界の変化ぶりが楽しくなっていったと記憶しています。
　北海道の中央部・石狩平野南端部で、南側には山岳地形が迫ってきている様子が、いろいろな季節変化を伝えてきてくれるオモシロさ。健康状態では何度か入院治療なども経験していますが、そのときにも病院内の廊下などを巡り歩くことを継続していた。最近はiPhoneアプリ「ヘルスケア」で歩数を記録してくれるのでメルクマールになっているけれど、そういうチェック機能なしでも継続してきていた。
　散歩では前述のように視界の移り変わりが楽しいのだけれど、しかし他方、足下をしっかり確認することも大切。
　最近はあまり感じなくなったけれど毎日10,000歩程度歩いていると、１回くらい多少の「ふらつき」を感じた時期もあった。ふっと、右足のあとの左足の着地点確認が「あれ」と意識が薄くなる瞬間があり得たのです。
　そういうときは、その後意識を強めに足下に集中させていくことにする。
　用心として足下へのしっかり凝視も欠かせない注意ポイントになってくるのですね。
　写真は先日、孫の「ハイハイ競争参加」の抱っこ要員として同行した近郊・南幌町で定刻前のスキマ時間での散歩道のたのしい「地上絵」であります。南幌町には海は接していませんが、ここに描かれたのは遡上してくるサケの絵柄。「あ、南幌にもサケが遡上してくる川があるんだ」と伝えてくれるのです。こういう「コミュニケーション」というのもわかりやすい「地域紹介」になっているなぁと。
　遠くの景色の「ながれ」を楽しむのも有意義だけれど、しっかり「ふらつき防止」のために足下を確認するのにも、こういう視覚的たのしさを提供してくれている。まぁ、札幌市内でも全国どこでも。こういった地上絵は多く提供されていますが、高齢期の人間にはありがたいサービスだと再認識。
　彩色された石を使ったアートとしても、なかなかいいなぁと。

[A walking path on a trip. Staring intently at my feet… Hmm.]
Footpath art designed to help seniors avoid stumbling. These all-weather stone sculptures are quietly delightful. Even when the path is covered in snow, there’s the joy of shoveling it away and rediscovering them all over again…

　For about 35 years since moving to Yamanote in Sapporo’s Nishi Ward—though there have been a few breaks along the way—I’ve kept up my habit of taking walks. In the beginning, I was still in my 30s, so I didn’t have a strong sense of purpose regarding health; my goal was simply to “get to know” the surrounding area. As I continued walking, I recall coming to enjoy the moderate changes in the scenery.
　Located in central Hokkaido at the southern tip of the Ishikari Plain, with mountainous terrain looming to the south, the area offers the fascinating experience of witnessing the changing seasons through these shifting vistas. Although I’ve been hospitalized several times for health reasons, I continued to walk the hospital corridors even during those stays. Lately, the “Health” app on my iPhone has been tracking my step count, so that’s become a benchmark for me, but I had been walking consistently even without that kind of tracking feature.
As mentioned earlier, I enjoy the changing scenery during my walks, but at the same time, it’s important to keep a close eye on where I’m stepping.
　Although I don’t notice it much anymore, there was a time when, walking about 10,000 steps a day, I’d occasionally feel a slight “wobble.” There were moments when, for a split second, my awareness would waver as I tried to confirm where my left foot would land after my right foot had stepped.
　When that happens, I make a point of focusing my attention more intently on the ground beneath my feet.
　As a precaution, keeping a close watch on the ground becomes an essential part of staying safe.
　The photo shows a delightful “ground painting” I spotted during a walk in Minamihoro Town, a nearby town I visited the other day to accompany my grandchild as a “carrier” for their “crawling race.” I took this picture during a spare moment before the event started. Although Minamihoro Town isn’t located by the sea, the design depicts salmon swimming upstream. It tells me, “Ah, so there’s a river in Minamihoro where salmon swim upstream, too.” I realize that this kind of “communication” serves as an easy-to-understand “introduction to the local area.”
While enjoying the “flow” of distant scenery is meaningful, these visual delights also help us keep our eyes on the ground to prevent us from stumbling. Well, whether in Sapporo or anywhere else in the country, there are many such ground art designs, and I’ve come to realize once again that they’re a welcome service for older adults.
I also think they’re quite nice as art made with colored stones.

　先日富良野で、プリンスホテル敷地の倉本聰さんのゆかりの建物群を逍遥して倉本さんへの鎮魂の寄せ書きに署名もしていた。氏は、NHK大河ドラマの演出家として活躍中のところ、現場スタッフによってかれの書いた脚本とはまったく違う筋立てに勝手に変更されることに抗議したところ、NHK上層部の逆鱗に触れて、東京から追われて札幌に「逃れてきて」いた。
　その当時、わたしは大学卒業後東京で勤務していた広告代理店から転勤で北海道に帰って来た頃で、たしか、フジテレビ系列の地方局の関係者向け「講演会」があって倉本さんの「逃げてきた」実相を克明に聞いていた。
　わたしは、父との今生のわかれの可能性が非常に高まっていた時期だったので、遠距離でわかれが叶わないのは一生の痛恨事だと思っていたので、長兄がその前に「たぶんオヤジはそろそろヤバい」とわざわざ東京のわたしに告げに来てくれたことをきっかけに、会社に依願して転勤願いを提出した。そもそも入社時点で同族経営会社の社長から「いずれ札幌に転勤してもらう」という内意を告げられていたので申し出たのだが、無事に受理された経緯。
　その東京から札幌への帰還便では途中で大きく機体が揺れて、東京暮らしでのさまざまな経緯・心残りが「オマエ、ホントに帰るのかよ。」と揺さぶってくれているようだった。・・・
　そういった自分事と、倉本聰さんの人生に一種のハーモニーを感じていた。
　それから倉本さんは戦後ニッポンの文化世界で「北の国から」という不朽の名作を遺していくことになる。わたしの創刊した雑誌でも氏へのインタビュー企画を２本掲載した。
　写真は、昨日撮影したJR「桑園」駅の冬景色。札幌から西へ１駅移動する駅だけれど、近代的な駅舎の一隅にこういう石油ストーブが設置されている。倉本さんは、こういう北海道のふつうのたたずまいでの経験積層からドラマの基底部分を作ってくれたように思っている。
　外気の冷却に対して多くの北国人が持つ、みんなで暖まる空間のいごこち。それも一歩外に出れば、過酷な寒さに打ちのめされるけれど、得られるいっときのやすらぎ感。
　なかなか忙しくたくさんの「描きたいこと」があるけれど、倉本さんへの鎮魂の書き付けに託した思いが、ジワジワとしずかに沁みてきています。

[A Heartwarming Scene of Heating at JR “Kuwano” Station in Hokkaido]
It is said that *From the North* embodies the longing for the warmth of people gathering together—a sentiment that resonates with those living in cold climates. …

　The other day in Furano, I strolled through the complex of buildings on the Prince Hotel grounds associated with Satoshi Kuramoto and even signed a memorial message in his honor. At the time, he was active as a director for NHK’s Taiga dramas, but when he protested against on-set staff arbitrarily changing the plot to something completely different from the script he had written, he angered NHK’s upper management and was driven out of Tokyo, “fleeing” to Sapporo.
　At that time, I had just returned to Hokkaido after being transferred from the advertising agency where I’d been working in Tokyo following my college graduation. I recall attending a “lecture” for staff at a local Fuji TV affiliate, where I heard a detailed account of the true circumstances behind Mr. Kuramoto’s “flight.”
　It was a time when the likelihood of parting with my father in this lifetime had become very high, and I believed that being unable to say goodbye due to the long distance would be a lifelong regret. So, when my eldest brother went out of his way to come to Tokyo and tell me, “Dad’s probably on his last legs,” I took that as a sign and submitted a request to my company for a transfer. I had actually made this request because, when I first joined the company—a family-run business—the president had informally told me, “We’ll have you transferred to Sapporo eventually.” My request was accepted without issue.
On that flight back from Tokyo to Sapporo, the plane shook violently at one point, and all the various experiences and unresolved feelings from my time in Tokyo seemed to be shaking me, as if asking, “Are you really going back?” …
I felt a kind of harmony between my own personal experiences and the life of Satoshi Kuramoto.
From then on, Mr. Kuramoto went on to leave behind the timeless masterpiece *From the North* in the cultural world of postwar Japan. The magazine I founded also published two interview features with him.
　The photo shows a winter scene at JR Kuwazono Station, taken yesterday. It’s just one stop west of Sapporo, but tucked away in a corner of the modern station building is a kerosene heater like this one. I believe Mr. Kuramoto built the foundation of his dramas from the layers of experiences he accumulated in these ordinary Hokkaido settings.
　The comfort of a shared, warm space—a feeling many northerners share as a respite from the biting cold. Even though stepping outside means being overwhelmed by the harsh cold, it offers a momentary sense of peace.
I’ve been quite busy and have many things I want to write about, but the feelings I entrusted to this tribute to Mr. Kuramoto are slowly and quietly sinking in.
