郷里・金沢4 (My Hometwon Kanazawa 4)


 さる14日午前、城下まち金沢周遊バスの1日フリー乗車券を買って、六つ目の停留所・橋場町(交番前)で下車、浅野川の縁を散策した。この川は犀川と並ぶ金沢の大きな川(二級河川)の一つで、後者が男川と呼ばれるのに対して、こちらは女川と呼ばれている。上の写真は、浅野川にかかる梅ノ橋。その橋の向こうに浅野川大橋も見えている。下の写真は、梅ノ橋の一つ上流にある天神橋。私は三〜四歳の頃、この橋の近くの町に住んでいた。

Monday morning last week, I bought a one-day ticket of Kanazawa Loop Bus and took the bus to the sixth stop ("Hashibachō; Koban-mae") from the starting point of Kanazawa-Eki ("Kanazawa Station"). Then, I walked along Asano River. This river is one of the two large rivers (class II river) in Kanazawa and is also called On'na (female) River. The other class II river is Sai River, also called Otoko (male) River. The above photos show bridges over Asano River. The upper one shows Umenohashi (Plum Bridge) together with Asanogawa-ohashi (the Big Bridge of Asano River) far beyond. The lower shows Tenjinbashi (Tenjin Bridge; Tenjin means the Shinto kami of scholarship) located upstream to Umenohashi. I lived in the street near the latter bridge when I was 3–4 years old.

About Science

"Podcast: What the brain can and can't do; Are we reaching the end of discovery?" Guardian. —"Professor Barry Smith delves into the mysteries of the mind and looks at what goes into making a decision. Plus, Professor Russell Stannard argues that we are reaching the limits of what humans can understand."
