Shooting at a sandbank of YOSHINO-GAWA river,there are many plants
grow up.when Summer comes.
Please allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Seiji Coda.
I was born in KawaSHIMA-CH0 and grown up to 18 years old.
I love this town.
and there run through YOSHINOGAWA river.
I love her,too.
Do you like the nature ?
I guess all of you says "Yes".
OK,I will tell you a story like this.
a
Day by day,the foreign plants makes their domain larger.
the domestic plants will losing their KINGDOM.
In a few years, YOSHINOGAWA river wears a new costumes.
a
Would it be natural?

There are shot at KAWASIMA-CHO,OE-GUN,TOKUSHIMA.

A long time ago,when I was a kid in Summer.
I drove around with my bike.
That day,I saw a crashed car in a riverbank.
Yes,some people done that unlawful thing.
Then a typhoon comes.
She makes a Flood.
Those cars are disappear like a smoke.
a
Back to my statement.
They says KYUURI,TOUMOROKOSI,KABOCHA are alright.
but I wonder why they hate SEITAKA-AWADATISOU?
a
ZASSOU is not useful for us,
that is why we called them ZASSOU.
Really ?
"SHIZEN-NOU"(go to my link page) don't think so.
a
I'll give you a invitation to riverbank.
(see map below)
Going West along the Root 192.
You can see KAWASHIMA-JO castle in a hour,
and more 500 meters to go.
You'll find yourself standing at drainage ground.
Please go down the slope thru willows.
Here it is !
Welcome to the riverbank.
Please be careful in the riverbank.
There is a swamp like a quicksand.
a
Could you see some grass falling down and shine?
This is the only safe way in swamp.
If you couldn't find these,You'd better stop or sink.
a
Let's take a walk with me.
I can see crearly the way if it run like a snake.
There is no trash,cigarette butt or something.
i guess bad manner guy drowns in a swamp.Hahaha!
a
I join together with workshop held by HINOMINE school.
I feel strong friendship chain with them.
the students are handicapped physically,or mentally.
Please see my contents about their great works.
We have a one wall that can exihibit their works at
FLAT.
Some student couldn't manage their body heat,
They hardly enjoy a snowball fight with others.
But,
On this wall,
All can recognize each other.
a
One-ness mind ain't nothing new.
Being here is reasonable.
Nothing will be waste.
a
One day,young pupil asked Buddah.
"Which has priolity for us,the nature? or human?"
Master replies,
"Useless to think about such a question."
and 2000 years through.
Mr.Kant replies in simillar question.
"What I'm going to answer,it makes a mistake."
The nature,
Human,
What do you think about it?
a
I think the one of them rush,we will fall.
a
Back to riverbank again.
When I was a school boy in short pants.
My home is nearby our school.(just 3 minuites to walk!)
and school pool is always cold by pouring a YOSHINO-GAWA's water.
also nearby our house,there is drainage ground.
yellow wall parted the machine and us,and the door is
always locked tight.
My farther took me there, after typhoon is gone.
MAMIYA 6 is in his hand.
the lock is loosen,we can see big diesel engines!!
"What it looks!!"
"Yeah,This is the culture shock!!!"
a
It is very easy to sneak into a school pool.
Maybe,It was the time around MUROTO typhoon 2nd comes.
I was fooling around with my friends at my(Yes,mine!) pool.
Every time we hear a loud sound of the draining machine.
but now,We hear nothin'.
"........... . . ???."
"... . ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
There is a mud pool all around here !
The tree branches and leaves were jammed in intake of machine.
and they made this big machine broke.
a
KAWASHIMA-CHO's history book ignored this thing.
It was erased when they revise the book.
It would be a somebody's nightmare,and he wanted to forget.
We had a good example from it.

I love Bakuzann Sakaki's BAKUZANN-BIGAKU (ISBN4-418-00505-6)
I think he is more than just the man.
SYO-DOU,TOUGEI is most far thing from me.
Sometime we see as a BYOUBU and KAKE-JIKU etc..
But Bakuzann's works are joyable see with me.
I love it.
a
Dogs.I love dogs,too.
COOKIE is the best friend of my family.
He's so shy,
and He acts sad when I term his bad attitude.
"YAKUSYA-YA-NOU!!"(What an actor!!)
We love his down-hearted pose.
