Almost every summer we go to Tateshina and stay there some days. Kirigamine Highlands are near Tateshina some 15 minutes by car. From age 20, 45 years already passed by. The scenery around the highlands has greatly changed. Only the korobokkuru Hutte is unchanging.

The master, TEZUKA Muneyasu, becomes 81 years old but very sadly this year from spring he has been in hospital. Now his son is managing the hutte, who is always gentle and smiling to the visitors. From him I bought the key-holder carved hutte's logo mark on. The highlands are now all beautiful in the early-visiting autumn. Pray the master be coming back.

The master ever wrote the highlands song's lyrics. The song was composed by SATO Muneyuki, the famous contemporary song-writer in Japan. The title is "Kisuge ni yosu", in English "For yellow day-lilies", that were ever spread all over the highlands in short summer.

Now the flowers have become rather a few for the deer's eating the flowers. Returning home we heard the song with being filled by thousand emotions. The hutte was established in 1956 by his only power in the short summer and long severe hard wind and snow seasons.

The master's son, Takane, has now become the new master.
