Creating an uncharted handmade countryside where heals and nurtures minds
On the day of the event, about life and death seen through “The Phone of the Wind”, Grief Care with “The Phone of the Wind” fosters sensibility and imagination at the library in the forest. In addition, I would like to talk about the activities of the Kenji Miyazawa Study Group. If you are not in a hurry, please visit the Morioka Municipal Library. We look forward to.

October 31st, the second book, “‘The Phone of the Wind’ and Grief Care”. It was published with a title about care that is close to the heart. This is an edited book with Dr. Yanaga of the Infection Control Center, Keio University School of Medicine.
The first work, “The Phone of the Wind,” is about why it was created, what you see, what you think, and what you are trying to do. And in his second book, he carefully picks up the messages of those who visit the wind phone and examines the process of grief and grief care from multiple perspectives. It is a must-see book for helpers involved in disaster relief, bereaved family and care for caregivers.
The text explains that “The Phone of the Wind” by Dr. Van Dyke, an American psychiatrist, is a therapy performed by a person holding a grief without a therapist. In addition, Professor Ian Jared Miller of Harvard University talks about his own views such as why he is incorporating “The Phone of the Wind” in his classes at Harvard University.
It is on sale at bookstores nationwide or Amazon.
November 4th (Sun) 14: 00-16: 00 Shizuoka Prefecture Mokusei Kaikan (Shizuoka Prefecture Staff Hall) will hold a lecture hosted by Shizuoka Life Telephone and “The Phone of the Wind” as a mental infrastructure it was done. As one of the measures against suicide, the life phone (Japan Life Phone Federation), which is run by volunteers, has deep worries and pains and can not talk to anyone and thinks about suicide. It is an activity that accepts consultations by setting up a telephone to listen to the story of the person who is doing it.
The phone of life is aimed at people who are desperate to live, and “The Phone of the Wind” is an activity for those who have lost their loved ones and are desperate to have their own hopes of living. I have accepted the story that there may be something in common.
Grief care by The Phone of the Wind is an activity without a therapist that awakens the natural healing power or self-healing power of an individual, and is a therapy performed by the person holding the grief. One can create his own story in life and think of it as alive. And it is the sensibility and imagination of a person that heals the sadness of the person left behind when he loses his loved one. Because humans have a spiritual activity to recover what they have lost, healing requires a story that can be resumed and reconnected. Asking yourself on the The Phone of the Wind is the creation of a continuation of your story, and you will be able to regain the days that were cut off even for a moment. I think you can get it.
It is said that suicide countermeasures are loneliness countermeasures, but when considering the care that incorporates natural healing power and natural resilience, which is to utilize the natural power of human beings that I have taken in my Phone of the Wind, I am lonely. I think it is necessary to take measures one step further and take measures for lifestyle. Lifestyle measures are, in short, a matter of how you perceive your existence, and you need to train them before you go out into society. Playing a match without practice in any sport is a source of injury and can be life-threatening. As with sports, when going out into society, I think it is necessary to clarify the mission of an individual to live, such as “what is life” and “what to live for” at school and elsewhere. By doing so, even if a situation is unacceptable to the world, I think I can challenge my mission without frustration or despair. Also, humans have evolved in nature. It has been scientifically proven that touching green can open and heal the hearts that have been injured in disasters and accidents. It is desirable to take measures against loneliness by utilizing the place of communication through citizen’s farms using vacant lots such as Kleingarten, which is said to have originated in Germany, and Dacha in Russia. As the last bastion after those measures, it is hoped that no one will lose their lives by suicide in the telephone activity of life. I’m talking about that.

Although the report was delayed a lot, on November 3rd, Iwate Nippo Co., Ltd. presented the Iwate Nippo Cultural Award and Physical Education Award to those who were active in various fields and contributed to the development of this prefecture, and praised their achievements. In recognition of the activities of Bergadia Kujirayama, we received the Cultural Award in the Social Division.
Regarding the place of “The Phone of the Wind”, people in deep sorrow organize their thoughts that are confused by the dialogue of their hearts with themselves, and take the initiative to regain their original vitality. It is a therapy that people with grief perform on their own. Talking to oneself is a discovery of oneself, and the manifestation of self-consciousness in the form of words can connect the cut off thoughts. It may be possible to convince oneself to have the light of hope to be able to connect from sadness, suffering and despair, to be released from sadness and suffering, to feel healed, and to change consciousness.
In addition, the disaster area is now seeking a bright future image, and the bright future image begins with dreaming. In order to firmly envision what the future should be, we need something that can be a driving force, and music and other cultural and artistic activities have that power. And it is important to deliver it, and since it will be a long-term activity, it seems that music festivals including children entrusted with the future, storytelling sessions, “Forest Library” activities that collect children’s books, etc. were evaluated. am.
I think this award is for activities that include everyone who supports us. Therefore, the supplementary prize of 300,000 yen was donated in full to the areas affected by the Hokkaido earthquake. I would like to ask for your understanding.
Yesterday, October 20th, there was a Tohoku / Kumamoto Support Concert by Japanese-American jazz musician AKIRA TANA & OTONOWA at “Oshacchi” in Otsuchi-cho. After the end, there was a surprise and I wanted to play in front of the “The Phone of the Wind” at Bell Gardia KUJIRAYAMA. In the evening, I was worried about the cold weather, but about 10 members from the United States and about 10 supporters from Tokyo came to Kujirayama and set up the musical instruments immediately. Jazz performance has begun. The unique sound of playing Japanese melody such as nursery rhymes, folk songs, and popular songs of the members in American jazz with a bold arrangement has been praised in Japan and the United States.
Unlike indoors, the sound was absorbed by the forest of Mt. Kujirayama, although it did not resonate, and it seemed to blend in naturally. It’s as if it reaches the people who visited the “The Phone of the Wind”, the people who called it, and the people who died…
People on the walk and dogs listened quietly rather than standing. And in the distance, deer and foxes were singing.
