#3044 Showa Ototsan

Ototsan, I had the pleasure of watching your wonderful pilgrimage film.

However, for those of us who have actually walked on a pilgrimage, it's a bit of a rush. However, I was not surprised at the scene of a couple wearing a Sugahasa hat and carrying a cane behind them, as I have seen many pilgrims walking on the actual pilgrimage route without a backpack. I was not the only one who saw the two backs of the two women with their backpacks on the walking pilgrimage route. Maybe I am overly concerned about it.

At 31:54/1:06:30, a waterfall in the mountains appears, but this is the location of the waterfall ceremony at Konjiji Temple (今治寺\, an extra temple located between Yakeyama Temple (No. 13) and Dainichi Temple (No. 14). It is said that after heavy rain, the volume of the waterfall is too much and it is dangerous to stand under the waterfall. I visited Imabariji Temple last time but could not stop by this waterfall due to lack of time.

Back a bit, the parapetless submarine bridge from 15:38/1:06:30 (or sunken bridge in Shimanto River in Kochi) is at least not the Shikoku Saburo ・ parapetless Onoshima submarine bridge over the Yoshino River ・ Kawajima submarine bridge on the pilgrim road. This must have been a submarine bridge somewhere suitable for photography. The reason why this bridge has no parapet is that in the old days, bridging technology was poor and there were no strong materials available, so only low bridges could be built. Even if the parapets were built for safety, when the river swelled due to typhoons, the amount and force of the water would cause the parapets to break and wash away the bridge. Therefore, I feel fear every time I cross such a bridge.

There is much more to say about the pilgrimage in this film, but I'll get to it.

I'm not sure the producers know what they are doing.

We in the engineering field are expected to design a product that is exactly the same, but on the other side of the spectrum, the more wonderful the finished product is, whether it is in reality or not, the better it is.

The same thing applies to film making. In the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where Rena Tanaka crosses a bridge over a small river in the countryside, and the bridge has a roof over it.

There is also a Hollywood movie starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.

The bridge starring Rena Tanaka is also located in Ehime （ Iyo ） and it would take more than a day to walk there. This film was made by NHK Ehime station, and they must have chosen impressive places in the prefecture. Unfortunately, this film does not seem to be available on YouTube.
