Connect people 繋がりの大切さ

Carpentry School Graduation Project / 大工育成塾 修了制作 Part3

Today, we were able to celebrate the Jotoshiki *1 without any troubles since the start.

This project has been such unique as all the 41 students do the Sumikake as well as Kizami. Although they all learn from different people *2, there are different ways in every local region and they all have their own habits, we managed to come this far and complete the Tatekata. They have prepared very well and cooperated with each other. The most important thing was that there was no one injured.

This coming Spring *3 they will all graduate and go to different ways. My message for them was to remember they have all these fellows who they have gone through all, good times and hard times together, and to stay connected as much as possible. I believe the connection and the fellowship they have made here will not only inspire but also serve them well in the future. I feel a progress in myself too. I’d like to give special thanks to all the people who was involved in this project. Thank you!!!

本日、無事に上棟式を迎えることができました!41人が墨をつけ、41人が刻む。3年間でみなそれぞれ教わることも違います。地域によってやり方も変わります。*1個々のクセもあります。そんな中で事前準備・打ち合わせを重ね、なにより塾生全員が一致団結し、話し合い、考えて行った結果、大きなミスはひとつもなく、極めて順調に、そしてけが人ゼロで最後の棟上げ(垂木まで)までこれました。ほんとによかった!!

41名の塾生一同が全国から集まり、伝統的な木造住宅を手刻みで建てる。このような経験はそう簡単にできることではありません、おそらく最初で最後でしょう。来年の春には卒塾し社会にでていくわけですが、彼らにはこの全国にできた仲間、共に戦った仲間がいるんだと、この仲間は5年後10年後必ず生きてくること、絶えず繋がりを持ってこれからも日々頑張っていって下さいと伝えました。僕自身もとても成長できた修了制作となりました。最後にこのプロジェクトに関わった方々に感謝致します。ありがとうございました!!!
