Poetry and wine, wind and moon, serious life
The popularity of Li Ziqi has made countless people envious of the life of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the South Mountain", but the convenience and prosperity of large cities have made few people truly settle in the mountains and forests and return to the garden. While people are tired of the pressure and shackles of first-tier cities, they are afraid of the human society of their hometown, while yearning for poetry and distant places, they cannot let go of the current gouge. The busy people of the world can no longer calm down to consume the primitive and natural life of planting trees, raising chickens, burning firewood, and fabrics.
Poetry and wine wind moon, farming life, the state of life that we can only see in film and television works, has been realized by Yumi Hayakawa. As a well-known textile artist in Japan, Hayakawa Yumi moved with her husband Tetsuhira Ono to Tanisei in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, at the age of 41, to cultivate the land in terraced fields and open orchards, and live a self-sufficient life.
When the house was dilapidated when he first came here, her husband Ono invited local craftsmen to build a framework with trees, soil and stucco from the mountains. The design of the room is simple, but extra warm, and Ono has carved floor-to-ceiling windows on three walls to make Hayakawa's eyes sleepy, and when he looks up, he can see the distant mountains and verdant fields. She walks, harvests, sews, cooks meals in nature, and feels full of joy in everything.
Just like that, year after year, two people have taken root here like seeds. Every day, Ono would carry baskets up the mountain, using clay as raw materials, pine wood for firewood, and glazing with ash from a wood stove. Come back and cook it into dishes, which are rustic but easy to use, and are utensils for the whole family to drink and eat. Hayakawa's raw materials are even more, such as indigo, ebony fruit, insect lacquer and other grass and wood dyeing, mud dyeing cloth. For more than twenty years, the family had never bought new clothes, all of which were sewn by Hayakawa by hand.
One vegetable and one fruit, one food and one taste, sowing with heart, careful cooking, sharing housework together, raising children together, sowing life together, and doing what they like. The couple, who have been married for 37 years, are not only lovers who have perfected each other, but also more like close friends, tolerant of each other and learning from each other. In 2016, they put together 20 years of life rooted in the earth into text and published a collection of essays, titled "Farming Life".
This book depicts to us the farming life of Yumi Hayakawa, the support of her family, the company of her friends, and the quiet satisfaction of her heart. In the book, they say that human beings belong to nature, and once wanted to squeeze into the city, but they were living more and more unhappily. And when they returned to nature, they found that the days of ploughing the fields and making pottery and making clothes were the most rare.
Everyone has an idyllic desire in their hearts, and the memory of living in the countryside as a child often becomes the most precious wealth in life. The intimate contact with nature, every adventure, every green leaf, is a fresh and mysterious symbol, imprinted in the depths of the soul.
As the author perceives: "My life does not mean only my own existence, but is connected to nature, the earth, everything in the universe, and now I can finally listen to my own murmurs, the voice of my body has become natural, and I realize that I am part of nature." ”
