The mortar, which is said to be a tool that disappears and disappears for nearly half a century, is still alive and well as an indispensable tool for local cuisine nationwide, although it has been used less frequently. It is a necessary tool to fully enjoy the blessings of each region and the four seasons. However, in Japan, which is small, the ingredients and seasonings are not so different. However, it is the skill of the mortar that is loved by the various dishes from all over the world. Moreover, it is also good for cooking and nutrition. Increase the variety of seasonings, change the texture, and above all, get oil from nuts and sesame seeds, and calcium from bird and fish bones. It's a reasonable and economical tool because the mortar does all this. That is why the tools that should disappear have been rigorously created, and the traditional food has remained. On the other hand, there are mortars outside of Japan. However, the pot has no pickpockets. Still, it is said to be an important tool for "mother's taste". An important tool / mortar for different ethnicities, such as climate and customs. Please have a look.

In spring, many bento books are lined up at bookstores. Around the same time, in the basement of the department store, cherry-blossom viewing lunch boxes are sold like a hundred flowers every year. It is said that no other ethnic group handles bento as much as the Japanese, and obento has been praised overseas. Why are we so particular about bento? We asked folklore scholar Noritake Kanzaki that his roots are in the ancient Japanese worldview of Halle and Ke. It is in an agricultural society centered on rice cultivation, and festivals such as daily life and rice planting celebrations are popular. If only solid and monotonous kes continue, the vitality will gradually be lost, so it seems that he was activated with a swell from time to time. On Halle's day, it was usually important to remove the squirrel with sake and treats. For the common people of Edo, the act of cherry-blossom viewing is a definite act. That's why you packed all the treats in a heavy box and went out to the cherry blossom spots. Surprisingly, the cherry blossom viewing originally had the meaning of praying for a good harvest. I decided to read the details in this magazine, but anyway, I knew once again how deeply Japanese customs and food are linked.

In France, there is a saying, "Being able to write well means being well thought out." It is a well-known word that is said to have been left by Boulez Pascal in "Pansées". When I first saw it, I struck my knee that it was exactly the case. The France visited an elementary school in Paris with a teacher who is enthusiastic about writing with a fountain pen. A veteran female teacher who has been on the road for 40 years, says, "The most suitable writing instrument for writing Latin letters neatly and beautifully is a fountain pen." The characters that the students write and spell are beautiful characters that do not seem to be in the second grade of elementary school. I was also surprised at the high level of writing ability. It is exactly "what you can write well is something you can think of well". When the children had the experience of writing kanji with a Japanese brush, it was very exciting. Nonetheless, no one is flirting or making noise. He even said that the scent of polishing ink "calms his mind", and the appearance of writing each letter as if he was caring for the tip of the brush deeply felt how "writing education" affects children's mental skills.
