Onioshidashien 鬼押出し園

I left Kitakaruizawa blueberty YGH at 7am, took a walk for Onioshidashien. It was a pleasant walking under the shade of trees.
Suddenly Asamayama showed up, I knew that I got to Onioshidashien. It was formed by a volcanic eruption of Asamayama in 1783.

北軽井沢ブルーベリーYGHを朝７時過ぎに出発し、鬼押出し園まで、てくてくお散歩。木陰の続く道。
急に視界が開け、浅間山が見えた。鬼押出し園に到着。ここは1783年の浅間山大噴火の溶岩の名残。


Asamayama Kannondo
浅間山観音堂


Since I saw Kataoka Tsurutaro’s work “Asamayama ne Kannon” , I can see Asamayama as Kannon laying. The higher mountain (Asamayama) looks like its body, the right mountain (Kurofuyama) looks like its profile.

片岡鶴太郎の“浅間山寝観音”の作品を見てから、浅間山が観音様の身体、右隣の山（黒斑山）が観音様の横顔に見えて仕方がない。


There were strange shapes of rocks. Some of them looked like animals, people and monsters.
奇岩が多く、人や動物に見える。


Oyako-iwa (rocks of parent and child)
親子岩


Tanuki-iwa? (raccoon dog?)
たぬき岩？

Saru-iwa? (monkey?)　
さる岩？


There were lots of plants on the lava field.
溶岩台地には植物がたくさん育っている。


Asamayama is an active volcano. There were shelters of concrete blocks.
ここは火山のそば。ところどころに避難場所があった。
