ここは八尾。まるで映画のセットみたいに現実であって現実でないような、私には現実と現実感の境界線を感じさせる場所。私たち外の人間は、“風の盆”を年に一度のお祭りといい、この数日間だけを、エンターテインメントとして、日常とは逸したものとして、はるばる訪ねたりするけれど。。。ここの人達にはこれもまた日常。ここでは伝統がそこかしこに息づいていて、私達にも、どこか懐かしい雰囲気を感じさせてくれる。一度訪ねた人が「また来年も、、」と想うのは、きっとここにある日常のせいなのね。宏美
This is Yatsuo. This place is where I can't help seeing the borderline of the reality
itself and the feeling of the reality as if this place weren't real like
the movie sets, but it were real.
We outsiders call this annual festival as "Kaze no bon"( Bon is japanese tradition),
and this festival would last for a couple of days.
People come to this festival to escape from reality which they are in.
But for people living in Yatsuo , every happening in this festival is
just nomal.It's like every single aspect of japanese traditions in here,
and this place makes me feel the good old atmosphere.
If someone gose to Yatsuo for this festival, that person would definitely think
"I wanna come here next year,too."
The daily life itself in Yatsuo makes us feel that we want to come back again
like every year...
