温泉の写真屋さんx駒 Our town's "Top" Photographer

December 8, 2008: 温泉タウン戸倉上山田 Onsen Town Togura-Kamiyamada

美咲ちゃんが富岡さんの駒に興味津々

戸倉上山田温泉に色んなキャラクターがいます。写真屋さんの富岡さんはその1人です。彼の撮る写真に載っている皆はいつも良い笑顔をしています。彼のギャグの面白さのお蔭でしょう。今日は駒をくれました。日本の伝統的なおもちゃですけど、私はやり方が良く分からなかった。そして、富岡さんが美咲ちゃんと私たちにやり方を見せてくれた。紐で持ち上げたり、手のひらでやったり、とっても上手でした。

Our onsen town here of Togura Kamiyamada is fortunate to be the home to many interesting characters. Our photographer, Tomioka-san, is one of them. The people in his portraits are always smiling -- mostly due to his funny antics. I(f you speak a bit of English or Spanish, Tomioka-san would only be too happy to practice on you.
Today he gave us a spinning top. He kindly demonstrated the traditional Japanese way, deftly using a string. He amazed Misaki and us by lifting the top up by the string and spinning it on the palm of his hand. Every onsen needs a funny photographer like Tomioka-san!
