The day started with sowing wheat. I got the seeds from a friend in Austria, the sort is called “Amadeus”. Hopefully it will survive the heavy snow during the Antaiji winter.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

At ten o’ clock, three people working in the forest business came to teach us about using chain saws safely. They began with theoretical lessons.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

As wood cutting is not about theory, we sonn moved to the forest. One of the guys showed us how to cut the big sugi trees.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next, it was Tsukans turn. Being from Oregon, he had no difficulties with using the saw.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

After that came Eko, the leader of the “Antaiji forest group”.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

When Gusho tried to cut his tree, difficulties arose:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The three professionals had to use their manpower to fell the tree.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

After that Takeo, our fresh man, showed his seniors how to cut properly. “Not too bad”, Gusho said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jinen is one of those meditative types. As could be expected, the tree would stand firm.<\/p>\n
