レース鳩 思い出多し 黒井峯遺跡

　高崎辺りでは、榛名山は多くの小中高校の校歌の歌詞にあって、その優雅な山容に、いつ見ても変わらぬ気高い雄姿に人間の精神の在るべき姿を重ねています。

　一方、この山が有史以前に大噴火を繰り返し、結果的に、美しい榛名湖や榛名富士を形成し、また、７世紀ごろに再度、大噴火して、子持中学の西に広がる「黒井峯」の集落を埋没させたのですから、自然は脅威と共に、伊香保温泉など生じさせた恩恵の両面を持ってます。

　以前にレース鳩を飼育してたとき、度々、この黒井峯遺跡から初歩訓練として鳩舎のある倉賀野まで２５Kほどを帰還させました。現在は鳩を飼育してません。鳩の餌の世話より、一人暮らしゆえ、自らの三度の食事の準備で、てんてこ舞いの日々です。こんな生活はそろそろお仕舞にしたい。

Dear my overseas friends who were crazy about racing pigeon

　Around Takasaki-city, Mt. Haruna is included in the lyrics of many school songs such as elementary, junior high and senior high schools. And its graceful appearance and unchanging majesty are overlapped the figure of human spirit.

　On the other hand, this mountain repeatedly had erupted in prehistoric times, resulting the formation of the beautiful Lake Haruna and Mt. Haruna Fuji and the famous Ikaho spar. Furthermore the village named Kuroimine was buried by eruption again in 7th century, so many people are buried still now. Therefore nature has two factors both threats and blessings for humans.

　When I was raising racing pigeons in the past, I often trained to return pigeons from the Kuroimine ruins about 25km to Kuragano-town where my pigeon loft is located, for the fundamental training. I don't currently keep pigeons. Since I live alone, I have to prepare three meals for myself rather than taking care of the pigeons. I am extremely busy everyday. I want to put an end to this kind of life in the near future.
