On October 8th, the rain on the previous day stopped and it was a perfect day for sports. The name of this gathering is a sports tournament for people with disabilities, but I accepted it because it was okay to take a walk around Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA.
It was my first time and I thought about what to do and spend half a day happily. Although visually impaired, other senses of hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting are the same as those of healthy people. If you think so, you should be able to play various games. Play that you can’t do anywhere else. Have fun listening to the “The Phone of the Wind” CD, try using “The Phone of the Wind”, babbling streams, singing birds, and being sensitive to the sound of the wind. Have them listen with good hearing. As for the touch, walk through the garden to check the feel of the lawn, the moss, and the fallen leaves. In the experience of sniffing, the scent differs depending on the type of rose, the scent of herbs and conifers, the strength of the scent, the sweetness, and the spicy scent. In the experience of tasting, all the people with disabilities and caregivers experienced the menu of sweetening coffee and cake, eating fig fruits, drinking hearty and enjoying each taste.
In particular, the experience of walking on moss made me feel like a carpet and was a surprise. As for the odor, it responded sensitively and sniffed out more subtle differences than we felt.
It is indescribable that visually impaired people also have different levels of understanding of Braille translation depending on whether they are congenital or acquired, and the degree of imagination differs greatly. Recently, he said that he often listens to read aloud books on his PC rather than Braille books. Even so, when I listen to it, I fall asleep on the way, so I also say that Braille books are better in such cases.
It was a short time of only half a day, but what pleased everyone is that it will add a new page to the activities of Bergadia Kujirayama in the future.
We want to be with you as long as time permits, “anytime, anyone”, which is the concept of Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA.
