My Hometown

I was born in Hanamaki city, Iwate prefecture. It's in the western area of Iwate.


It's famous for Miyazawa Kenji who was born there and wrote some very famus storys and poems,  and wanko-soba, a kind of noodle.




Miyazawa Kenji was born in 1896. His great works, for example 「I will not give in to the rain」 and 「Night of the Milky Way Railway」,  have been handed down since he died. But he had not been a popular writer before his death. Kusano Sinpei tried to make Miyazawa Kenji's works be known.





 

Wanko-soba is a style to eat soba. An amount of soba you can drink at one time is sereved until you close the top of the bowl. Iwate has two tournaments in Morioka city and in Hanamaki city. But Hanamaki's is larger than Morioka's. The highest score is 254 cups in 5 minutes.













Hanamaki has other great cultures and nature.
You should visit my hometown or live!!!


Please ask me if you are interested in anything about Hanamaki or Iwate.


Thank you for your reading.
Good night.
