Unseen coastal stones, go beyond Aomori, pick up stones in the sea of Kanagawa | Memories No. 114 |
Stone picking trip｜Kanagawa prefecture coast
Summer. It’s a very hot summer. The climate is not suitable for collecting stones. I get sunburned and my head gets lightheaded. The light reflecting off the stones is dazzling. There’s no need to pick up stones.
However, I am still on a journey to find a stone that surpasses Aomori. It is not allowed to stop. Whether it’s extremely hot, extremely cold, rainy, windy, or snowy. I don’t do it during typhoons and lightning because my life is in danger, but I can pick it up any other day. That’s what I say…
A certain day in August 2022.
Thinking that it would be impossible to surpass Aomori’s stones, I was on the verge of giving up, but I was absentmindedly looking at the Instagrams of stone people.
! ?
What is this stone? A wonderfully beautiful stone caught my eye. The collection location is written as Kanagawa. It’s somehow different from the rocks on the coast that I wrote about last time, which I always go to on business trips. There are other fascinating stone spots in Kanagawa. The person who picked up this stone was one of the people I felt sympathy for shortly after I started using Instagram. I will call you Mr. Ishikuro. Please contact me via DM immediately.
I’m a little reluctant to contact you via DM. That’s because stone people don’t want to share information about the coast or have conversations about stones. So I’m always a little nervous. I fear that this will cause us to lose one of our irreplaceable connections with the stones. Also, there are few sympathy stones.
I sent a DM and received a reply shortly after. I was relieved that I wasn’t insulated from the through. It seems that my account and diary are often looked at, and with that trust (or is that even true?), I was asked to tell me about a secret beach. Thank you.
Ah, there was a nice stone beach that I didn’t know about. Once you know about it, you can’t help but go.
Come to think of it, I’ve decided to participate in something called Ishi Fest Tokyo, which I received an invitation to via DM the other day. Even though I was planning to participate, I was thinking of sending him to Tokyo to exhibit and sell some improvised photographic stone works for the two days of the festival, and I was thinking of just sharing the situation with him in Nagoya.
I was thinking about it, but surprisingly, it turns out that Tamami Miyata will be a guest on the talk show at Ishifes. Is there such a thing?
This has to go! surely! Moreover, the date of the event happened to be close to my business trip to Tokyo, so I decided to stay in Tokyo. If so, let’s stay until the next day and go to Mr. Ishikuro’s secret stone spot.
It looks like it’s going to be a stone-cold business trip.
I think I’ll write about Ishi Fest Tokyo again someday, as it seems like it’s going to be a long story.
September 13, 2022.
On the day of picking up stones. Yesterday, I went to Ishi Fest Tokyo with 384 (for some reason, I invited him), and after that, I had a nice drink with 384 before heading off to today. 384 didn’t come with me. why. Compared to Thoroughbred K, he seems to be more interested in stones, but less active in picking up stones. Even though K is always picking up stones with incredible concentration. It seems like they wanted to go to Ishi Fest Tokyo, but their schedules didn’t work out and they were disappointed.
That’s why I’m stable and picking up stones alone. It was my first time to visit the coast, and it was recommended by Mr. Ishikuro, who is a stone sympathizer, so my expectations were pretty high. Maybe it will even surpass the stone in Aomori.
I arrived at the shore. I feel like the water quality is better than the usual Kanagawa coast. (Maybe it’s just my imagination)
What about stones?
Rolling around.
This is what the stone looks like from a distance. I don’t know. However, at first glance, I knew it was not a parking lot. Even if we take away the wet magic, there seems to be quite a bit of individuality and difference in color.
Rolling around.
It’s also hard to tell because of the pull cut. On this beach, there are blue-green stones that I always pick up on my business trips, and I can also see stones similar to those found on another coast in Kanagawa where I can pick up small stones. It’s really diverse. The size of the stone is neither too large nor too small. Good size.
Rolling around.
This is what dry stone looks like. that? parking? You thought so, but the parking lot is much grayer.
After all, the color develops better when it gets wet. I feel like there are a lot of dark and dark colors. It is located on the coast of small stones in Kanagawa. It’s like taking that stone and making it bigger.
It’s September, so it’s hot, but the sea water is pretty clean, clear and refreshing.
Rolling around.
around!
Brightly colored stones suddenly caught my eye.
Like a Nishikigoi. Of course, the color won’t be this great unless it’s wet. Quite rare. A stone that you would like to admire by soaking it in water.
Smooth rock surfaces here and there. The terrain here is interesting.
The tide is low now, making it easier to pick up stones. Although the total length of the stone spot is quite long, the coast from the embankment to the sea is not very wide, so when the tide comes in there are some spots where you can’t walk. I’m a little scared because I’m afraid I’ll find myself stranded on the beach and never be able to return.
The sea is still beautiful.
Stones on the gravel beach. It seems easy to find the small stones that I’ve been getting into recently.
heart-shaped stone. I don’t usually pick up stones in that way, but the person hosting Stone Fest Tokyo yesterday was collecting heart-shaped stones, so I took a photo of them and sent them to him via DM.
It is difficult to tell whether this kind of stone is a natural object (a type of conglomerate) or an artificial object that has been carved into a round shape. I feel like this is the latter.
Driftwood sticks to the sandy beach. Like the antlers of a giant imaginary deer. buoy.
Before I knew it, the tide was rising. Let’s end this before we can’t go home.
Before I knew it, I had picked up so much. Sorting begins from here, and there are many small stones. And I can’t help but feel like I’m picking things up indiscriminately. This tends to happen when it’s your first time at the beach, but I want to tell myself how many times I’ve picked one up. I want to learn it soon. Regards GPT.
This is probably after the selection. There are still many.
I especially liked the seven stones.
This is the goodbye stone.
Goodbye stone. Goodbye everyone, until we meet again.
This is the moment when we say goodbye to stones that no longer fit, which is probably as close to absolute as possible. I guess it’s good to be sad and sad.
I don’t know which one this is. Beautiful color triple stone. good bye.
Goodbye heart too.
red, yellow, blue. good bye.
Alone. Goodbye, hope you’re well.
This completes the stone collection. It was a beach I would like to visit again. Although it doesn’t surpass the stone in Aomori.
Stones picked up at sea｜Kanagawa Prefecture coast
I took it home and took pictures. The photo is dark again. This doesn’t give you the feel of stone. Click here for photos that I think are beautiful.
→Various stones I have picked up so far
Like the royal insect from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. When you read it, the kanji will come out in one go. Maybe it’s just my PC.
A gray stone with black lines. It’s far from Black Flash. You cannot enter the zone with this stone.
Like a Nishikigoi. Even after drying, the color was surprisingly good.
Looks like a fossilized dinosaur tooth.
Like shiitake mushrooms. No, it’s a poisonous mushroom.
Looking at it this way, it was a beach where you could pick up colorful stones. The shapes and patterns are diverse and beautiful. I thought it was relatively dense. Although it is not as bad as Mie’s Shichiri-no-hama or Shizuoka’s Misaki. And once again, he never got past the Aomori stone. Never-ending stone training. In search of a stonetopia that doesn’t exist.
