You know, most of the people in the village work for papermaking. Not all, of course, but mostly they are paper makers.

So, I would find this kind of strange stuff on the way.

Do you know what it is ????

It's tororo-aoi, the mediation aid for papermaking !! Neri, as you may know in Japanese. .... It was put on the outside entrance of a paper maker in the quiet early morning, who makes paper for sumi ink, gasen. I was attracted to the tool and everything. It tells you his history..
