Description
| [Yato" is also written as "valley door," and refers to the topography of a shallow valley that extends deep into a gently sloping hillside. In this picture book, modeled on a valley in the Tama Hills in the suburbs of Tokyo*, we observe a farmhouse and the people who live there from a fixed point, along with 16 arhats built on the roadside. The story will cover 150 years from the beginning of the Meiji era to the present day. For a long period of time, the local people lived by growing rice and wheat and making charcoal. Although there was a war in the mid-Showa period, they continued to live a peaceful and tranquil life. It was not until the 1960s that their way of life changed dramatically. This vast area of land became the site of the New Town development. Hills were cleared and valleys were filled in. The hills that had been rich in nature quickly disappeared. By the end of the Showa period (1926-1989), the land was transformed into new towns with apartment complexes and condominiums. Rice cultivation and charcoal making, which were rooted in the earth, have almost disappeared. However, many new people moved into the area, and the town regained its liveliness. By the Heisei era (1989), more than 30 years had passed since the establishment of New Town, and the once tranquil village with its rich natural environment had become a settled suburban town. Not only the village depicted here, but all of the towns where we live today must have once been rich in nature. What kind of topography, what kind of people, and what kind of lifestyle were they enjoying before they became the towns they are today? As you read this book, it would be a good idea to compare it with the town where you live. At the end of the book, there are 8 pages of detailed explanations of the agricultural work and tools depicted in the book, as well as the customs of the village and its people. |

「やと」とは「谷戸」とも書き、なだらかな丘陵地に、浅い谷が奥深くまで入り込んでいるような地形のことをいいます。
この絵本では、東京郊外・多摩丘陵の谷戸をモデルに、そこに立つ一軒の農家と、その土地にくらす人々の様子を、道ばたにつくられた十六の羅漢さんとともに、定点観測で見ていきます。
描かれるのは、明治時代のはじめから現代までの150年間。
長い時間、土地の人びとは稲作、麦作そして炭焼きなどをしてくらしてきました。昭和のなかばには戦争もありましたが、それでもつつましく、のどかなくらしをつづけてきました。
そのいとなみが大きく変化したのは、昭和40年代からです。この広大な土地が、ニュータウンの開発地となりました。丘はけずられ、谷は埋められました。自然ゆたかだった丘陵地は、あっというまに姿を消しました。そして昭和のおわりごろになると、団地やマンショがたちならぶニュータウンへと姿をかえました。大地にねざした稲作や炭焼きの仕事は、もうほとんどなくなりました。
しかし、新たに多くの人がここへ移り住み、町はまた活気をとりもどします。平成となると、ニュータウンができてからも30年以上がたち、自然豊かでのどかだった村は、落ち着いた郊外の町となっていきました。
ここに描かれた村にかぎらず、現在の私たちのくらす町はどこでも、かつてはゆたかな自然あふれる土地であったことでしょう。今のような町になる前は、どのような地形で、どのような人びとがいて、どのようなくらしがいとなまれていたのでしょうか。これを読みながら、みなさんのくらしている町と、くらべながら見ていくのもいいでしょう。
巻末には、8ページにわたって、この絵本に描かれている農作業とその道具、村の習俗や人びとの様子などをくわしく解説しています。
