It's been a long time.

It's been a while since my last update...this time it's Tsushima again.

　

This time, we will be investigating the stone roofs of Tsushima together with Professor Kobayashi from Yasuda Women's University.

Using the equipment provided by Professor Kobayashi, we were able to confirm things that were previously unknown.

"I see, so that's how it is," I thought, feeling somewhat satisfied with the results of the investigation so far.

　

When we decided on the survey date, we were worried, "Is it still the rainy season? Will we be okay with the rain?", but when we arrived in Tsushima, it seemed that the rainy season had ended in western Japan. It was hot.

　

My next post won't be about Tsushima...I hope.

Following last month, I went to Tsushima again.

This time we were supposed to be conducting a joint survey with Professor Kobayashi from Shimane University, but due to the snow caused by the strongest cold wave, Professor Kobayashi was unable to attend.

Our flight was delayed too, so we took a ferry to Tsushima for the first time.

Well, this was also a good experience.

　　

Recent research has made me realize that humans cannot defeat nature.

　　

The first on-site survey will be conducted in Tsushima in 2025.

The outbound flight was cancelled.

It snowed on the day we returned.

Humans cannot beat the weather.

When you can, do what you can, within your capabilities.

　　

I went to Uchiko Town in Ehime Prefecture to conduct a field survey.

The tour focused on investigating the existing shutters and floor cushions in the traditional townscape, and also inspected covered bridges.

This survey was a joint investigation by Associate Professor Kobayashi of Shimane University and Lecturer Kurihara of Tohoku Institute of Technology.

　　

A week of September has passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, there are signs of autumn.

　　

The report from last month's investigation has yet to be released.

In the latter half of August, I went on a survey to Tokushima Prefecture.

This time, the survey was conducted jointly with Professor Ishii from Meijo University, Professor Kobayashi from Shimane University, and Professor Kurihara from Tohoku Institute of Technology.

　　

The environmental group conducted a small climate observation survey.

A graduate student who joined the lab in April also participated in the field survey for the first time.

They did a great job despite the heat.

Since I didn't use any sunscreen, my skin color changed completely.

　　

I went to Tsushima in Nagasaki Prefecture to investigate.

This survey was a joint study conducted by Professor Watanabe of Daido University and Professor Kurihara of Tohoku Institute of Technology.

I had the impression that Tsushima was fairly cool in the summer, but this time I found it to be hotter than I had ever experienced before.

　　

I went to Tsushima to investigate.

This is the last survey for this year.

This time, it was a joint investigation between Professor Ishii of Meijo University and Professor Kurihara of Tohoku Institute of Technology.

We conducted a thermal environment measurement survey including micro-climate observations at Gunkura in the Shiine village.
