Enoden and Me: Memories of wandering and sand in my blue age (prose poetry)

In 1978, the year I entered the University of Tokyo Science 1, I lost my enthusiasm for science very quickly, and went on a sketch trip around the Kanto region with a sketchbook in hand. In that sense, the Miura Peninsula area is full of good subjects for painting, so I boycotted my attendance at the final exam and went to paint. At that time, I had no doubts that German was a second foreign language, and I did not even think about studying French during the spring break of university and transferring to the Department of French Literature in the Faculty of Letters. It was around that time.

Speaking of Kamakura and Enoshima, it was the destination of school excursions for elementary school students in the northern Kanto region, and it was the second time I visited this place. However, to put it bluntly, for me, who was suffering from "the troubles of youth", the way I see things is somewhat different from when I was in elementary school, and I have a desire to find the realities hidden in the depths of things. was holding What I learned from that experience was that I thought that there would be things I couldn't get in the "boring" science field.

My BGM around this time was Machiko Watanabe's album "Fog Lamp", the singer-songwriter of "Mayoi-Michi", which had been a big hit since 1977. Among them, the song "Black Angel" was the best. I don't know the gender of that, but I care about my friend's "black angel" who lives a self-indulgent life, and it is a song that reproaches me that I can't continue such a life. At the time, I compared myself to this "Black Angel".

The representative means of transportation in this area is, of course, the Enoden. As for what kind of train it is, if you quote from the wiki

Although it is a short distance of less than an hour from Tokyo, you can enjoy the atmosphere of a local line on a single track (operating every 12 minutes during the daytime, so it is reasonably convenient), and the areas along the line are "Youthful and bright images of Shonan and Enoshima". And it is a famous sightseeing spot in the metropolitan area since ancient times, called ``Kamakura, the ancient capital where the shogunate once existed.'' As a result, there are abundant tourism resources, scenic spots, and historic sites along the railway lines.

In addition, the Enoden itself is characteristic and easy to be a subject, so it is very often used for taking pictures of TV dramas and gravure photographs (see the section ``Works based on the Enoden''), such as "SLAM DUNK". Occasionally appearing in cartoons, its recognition is not only in Japan, but it is a railway line that is known all over the world. Especially in recent years, the number of tourists taking pictures at the railroad crossing at Kamakurakokomae Station has increased, and security measures have been strengthened, such as placing security guards near the railroad crossing.

There are few cases where it is called by the official company name 'Enoshima Electric Railway', and it is generally called 'Enoden', and even the company actively calls it 'Enoden' on its goods and other items, and even writes 'Enoden' in hiragana.

This slow feeling is good, isn't it? I also got off at Enoshima and did a crayon drawing featuring the Enoshima Lighthouse. When I look at this painting now, I can tell that he was in a state of high spirits, or rather, that his nerves were tense. It's like slamming yourself into a sketchbook with a rough touch.

During this short trip, I bought a collection of essays about the Enoden called "Enoden Calendar Day" (authored by Umihiko Ito), and thoroughly enjoyed the moist and lovely description of the Enoden. I don't have it with me now, but it was a good collection of essays. I remember a story that said, ``I tried to imagine the person who dropped the 'sand,' which was a remnant of summer, on the car of the Enoden in the summer.''

Today's word: I wrote above that I boycotted the final exam, but this subject is "absolutely necessary for admission", and if I fail it, I will have to repeat the grade, so I submitted a "petition" to the professor in charge.  I took a supplementary exam and managed to advance. It was an uncool episode (sweat).
