There is a thing called Hozu River Revival Project
First of all it looks like “raft”, but it seems to read “raft”. I did not know shyly.
And there seems to be the Hozu River revival project .
Although it is stated on the homepage, “Once in the Hozugawa river raft sinking carried by the Tamba mountainous area to the capital of Kyoto was actively being carried out”, in short, it is preserved You used Tsugawa to transport wood.
Its history is old, and it seems that rafts were done in the upper Katsuragawa river in the Hakuho era (645 – 710). And it seems that it was used not only for transporting wood but also for transporting goods etc. It was also useful as an important means of transportation.
Although it became modern, various transportation methods were established and now it is not done completely, but it seems that a project to try to revive it is under way.
Because it is a very rough explanation, please see the homepage for details.
And as part of that, it seems that this kind of festival will be held this time.
~ ~ The following quotation “In the project Hozugawa, with the Kyoto prefecture and the Kameoka city cultural museum, along with every group and business entity in the basin, rediscovering the cultures of the watershed and reconstructing the environment through environmental conservation through the revival of the raftering of the Hozu River for the first time in 60 years In 2007. In the Raft Revival Project started in 2007, we restored the original 12 rafts, aimed to fully restore rafts from Nantan City upstream to Kyoto and Arashiyama, and at the same time, We are promoting interviews of raft cultures transmitted to basins, records and transfers of various technologies, and efforts toward local consumption of timber. ”
~~
That’s why it’s not just about reviving it, but through that effort it is environmental protection, the recording and transfer of culture and technology, and the promotion of local timeless disposal of lumber. Very great.
Although the size of this site is still small, we think that it would be good if we could develop into efforts to make Kameoka better by using this site etc. as a topic investigation team around Kameoka. I think that this thought is not a grand thing.
I think that it is wonderful that you are actually doing big activities.
The story is returning this September 8 (Saturday) event, it looks quite interesting, is not it? Especially I think that it is very fun for children. It seems that there is no special danger because it seems that it seems to ride very shallowly in the feeling of seeing past pictures.
It is quite difficult to do such experiences, but it is impossible to do, so why do not you go for the convenient one.
