「本当に、この道であっているのかな?」そう、今回は集合場所に到着時する前からドキドキが始まっていました。看板はあるものの、奥まった所へと車を進める事になるので到着するまで不安が募りました(集合場所を見つけた時はほっとしました)。 体験はまず、案内をしてくださるガイドの船津さんと、当主の荒谷さんの紹介から始まり、安全のための注意事項の説明、それからヘルメットの装着をしました。 準備が整うと、重ねられた石の間を通り、工具等がある小屋の間を通って採石場の入り口へ。入り口を見たときは思わず吐いた息と共に「うわぁー」と声が漏れました。 大きく開いた入り口、壁は白っぽくて幾何学的な模様が刻まれていました。私には不思議でとても美しく魅力的に見えました。 採石場の中へ入り、独特な雰囲気を感じ、まるで異世界に来たような感覚がしました(どう感じたかは上手く言葉で表現できませんので割愛で)。 実際に石を切り出す所を見せていただき、石を切る時の音の変化を感じる事もできました。 また、石の状態を探りながら採石していく技術は長年受け継がれ、歴史と凄みを感じました。 お話していただいたことや実際に体験したことは全て興味深いもので、私は参加して良かったです。 今回、参加した時期が良く、外気と採石場の気温の差を感じる事が出来なかったので、また別の季節に参加したいと思いますいます。
