season word 0208 snowshoes


 
A season word of this week on the news paper was  "KANJIKI". snowshoes.
Yes, actually they are snowshoes, but, how many "young people" know this word?
Even though I know the word, I've never put them on, and probably see them directly.
However this winter in north areas in Japan, they have had unexpected lots of snow. So some people put them on to go outside.
Of course nowadays Kanjiki is made from light plastic material.
 
KANJIKI is a very traditional old tool.
Though it is spoken in Japanese, if you are interested in it, please show it.
 
 



However when I found this video, I was very surprised.



With Kanjiki, people have to walk, who expected that?
(This winter, in the north area, they are having unexpected lots of snow, so some people have to put modern Kanjiki on)

Nowadays, light-weight Kanjiki, it's simply divine.
