故郷・但馬豊岡と終の棲家・筑前宗像の風景の違いは麦の有無です。37年前、この場所で麦秋の美しさに魅せられました。長い間、農地を守ってくださる皆さまに感謝です。
One of the most striking differences between my hometown, Toyooka in Tajima, and my final home, Munakata in Chikuzen, is the presence of wheat in the landscape.
It was 37 years ago, right here, that I was captivated by the beauty of golden wheat fields at harvest time.
I am deeply grateful to those who have preserved these farmlands over the years.
