2018-08-13 "My father had lived his life, watching these landscapes" [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

After calling my sister, and telling "might be impossible to finish it", I restarted the cruise.

In order to find my father's birth place, I drove the car to arrive at the next city hall, through a wooded area, along a coast, and in an industrial zone.

The cruise was done under the killing shining in the murderous heat, however I could enjoy driving in the air-conditioned car.

-----

I thought

"My father had lived his life, watching these landscapes"

with driving as following his tracks of his life.

-----

Fortunately, the cruise was terminated at the next city hall, however when I read the copy of family register, I was really surprised.

There was over ten people names in the copy, I felt in suspense that it was almost impossible to find my father's name. (Finally I could find it at the bottom lines.)

I understood that

There were three families in the same place, and one of the families had several children.

There were almost "class" or "colony" not "family"

At least, in the copy, I could not find the concept of "declining birth rates".

-----

After all, I continued the cruise about four hours and drove around the peninsula of his birth place. And I could start on my return home.

This time was scant rather than the period of my father's life, however,

I could enjoy the cruise because I had a feeling that I could play back his life quickly.
