Sister Hashiguchi Hase's performance and singing voice!
2020-09-19
Eighteen years ago, the "De Rotz-sama Organ Revival Concert" was held, and a commemorative CD came out the other day.
Harmonium (European organ), which De Ro ordered from France for accompaniment of mass 130 years ago, was played in church until around 40, but problems such as air leaks began to appear. So the church has a new organ.De Rotz's organ was then played in the corner of the Father de Rotz Memorial Hall to the sound of Sister Hashiguchi, who had been playing for many years, and sang with the visitors. 18 years ago, the organ in Yokohama. The sound of the De Rotz era was revived by having the researcher Nihei repair it.Mr. Nihei was offered to repair it by all means, and he volunteered for a month to repair it.The cost of repairs (replacement materials, etc.) was covered by the kindness of many people, so it seems that it was a joyful concert for many people.
The greetings of Father Yamauchi, the chief priest at the time, and Dr. Nihei, who repaired the work, are followed by the chant of Sister Hashiguchi. 84-year-old singing voice.
"One box came out", so we will divide it for 1 yen per sheet. For inquiries and orders, please contact the former Izutsu Relief Center Secretariat.
typhoon! !! !!
2020-09-13
It's been a week since typhoons 9 and 10 blew up.I was busy cleaning up.
Both were very scary typhoons.After spending a sleepless night, I went to the rescue clinic and was surprised at the damage.The tiles of the mill and macaroni factory are turned over.Two shutters of the rescue center were blown off and dropped, and the hinged window on the first floor of the mill was shaken off and the wind was playing.It was No. 2 which followed a fairly distant course, so it was a big shock just because I was off guard.
No. 10 was even more terrifying, and the rescue center was further damaged by shutters, windowpanes, doors, window frames, etc., but the most shocking thing was the Ohira workshop, which was under construction of masonry.It is the collapse of the temporary roof that was attached for maintenance.The important masonry is also considerably damaged.
We are discussing good and bad measures with the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
This time, it was a report of damage.
Today is the blue sky.It is the open sea that has fallen.
Sister Hashiguchi Hase, homecoming!
2020-08-25
On the evening of Wednesday, August 8, Sister Hashiguchi Hase returned quietly and calmly.
For a long time, he was a sister who was loved and cherished by everyone.Thank you very much for your help.I asked the people I met at the rescue center, "How are you, Sister who was playing the organ? I was asked countless times.It was fresh, happy, and memorable to be invited by Sister to sing a chant to Harmonium.
He was a laid back, warm and humorous sister. Even after he was 100 years old, he was a person who could make jokes and was loved by everyone.
You're probably talking to God in heaven right now.Please pray for eternal rest.

It was said that it was for women, but it is also perfect for a male guide at the rescue clinic!
