I took a ride on my bicycle jitensha one afternoon, quite recently.  The weather was reasonable and sunny, but damp.  My jitensha has only one brake at the moment.  I was aware of the extensive micro road network (I would call them fire roads^*) thoughout Kamiyama since I purchased excellent maps of the entire area.  Setting off from the area known as Orono the fire road winds it’s way along a lazy river (does ニコライ know the rivers name?) until it meets the main road, route 21.

I happened to notice a small trio of construction dons stabilising the river bank.  They were stirring up the river with their mechanical contraptions and vigorous mannerisms.  I assume this river bank tinkering made the water mizu cloudy.  It was quite striking and reminded me of unfiltered sake.

If you need a reference point, cast your eyes downward.
