Even though Eldest son or only son is allowed to go out to Hawaii, Brazil, America, Taiwan, Manchuria without hesitation and they worked hard for success.
Number of Hawaii immigrants from Yamaguchi-ken is most large in Japan and many from Oshima and especially many from Okikamuro.
Now, many people return to Okikamuro island from many cities at important occasions so that people says the Island sinks while Bon festival.
This fact means that people in okikamuro succeeds faith for god and strong bonds of family while they traditionally risk life on the ocean. This same blood must be in our bodies.
People in Okikamuro unify and works for village and society when any trouble happens. One example of this tradition is Tokyo Kamuro party, Kansai kamuro party, Ube kamuro party, Hawaii kamuro party in Honolulu and Hilo.
‘When Shigetoshi is child hood, he heard stories about Imari, Karatsu, Yobuko on the knee of Grandfather. Here is the Yobuko.’ I felt good old. This place is similar to Kamuro and it doesn’t look new to me.
We decided to stay Karatsu Daiichi hotel tonight and planned to work for rubbing copy of the right side stone lantern. We started to drive finding any document about Karatsu and Imari towns with Mr. Nishimura.
Soon, we lost the way to hotel. Target lights were turned off and couldn’t find any person to ask.
Finally we found super market and asked the way. Shop owner told ‘you guys must lose way easily if I tell the way to hotel from this place. I will lead your car by the shop’s car.’ Mr. Nishimura hesitated to accept this offer because it’s late night.
The owner’s wife showed from inside of the shop and said to her husband. ‘They must lose the way from here to the Daiichi hotel. You should lead them’
Mr. Nishimura was still hesitating this offer. I pushed Mr. Nishimura’s bottom to accept this offer. He was still hesitating. Then Yamada said to the shop owner ‘please lead us.’
Mr. Nishimura started to follow shop owner’s car.While following the guide, I felt that we couldn’t reach the hotel if we drove this complicated paths without guide and had to sleep in the car.
We talked afterward ‘This must be that the ancestors guided us to help us.’
