帆船模型作家・岡崎英幸さんに感謝状 Letter of Appreciation to Mr. Hideyuki Okazaki, sailing ship model artist
遣米使節三船の帆船模型を制作してくださった岡崎さんを宮城県大崎市訪ね、感謝状をさしあげました。制作募金に応じてくれた多くの皆さんにも感謝申し上げます。　2007平成19年7月 We visited Mr. Hideyuki Okazaki in Osaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, to present a letter of appreciation to him for his work on the models of the three sailing ships for the Japanese envoys to the United States. We also thanked the many people who donated to the production of the models.　July 2007

平成10年に訪ねてお願いして以来、9年がかりで3隻の帆船模型を制作。その上、「3隻そろうと《小栗上野介展》などに貸し出すこともあろうから、その時東善寺に1隻もないのは参拝者に気の毒」、と2隻目のポウハタン号を制作し寄進してくれました。 Since I visited him in 1998 and asked him for help, Mr. Okazaki has spent nine years creating three models of the sailing ships. Furthermore, he thought it would be a pity for visitors to Tozenji Temple not to see a model of the Powhatan, while the three ship models could be rented out for the "Kozukenosuke Oguri Exhibition" and other events.

地元の記者クラブから数社が駆け付けて取材。製作途中の部品の数々に驚いていました。 Several companies from the local press club came to cover my visit to Mr. Okazaki. They were amazed at the many parts in the process of being crafted.

なぜ帆船模型を作ろうとしたのか、どうして岡崎さんを知ったのか、記者の質問が飛び交います Reporters asked me why I had decided to make models of the sailing ships and how I had come to know Mr. Okazaki.		廊下には岡崎さんの絵心を示すたくさんの帆船の絵が掲げられています Many pictures of sailing ships were displayed in the hallway of his house, showing Mr. Okazaki's artistic spirit.

	敬　弔　岡崎英幸さんは2021令和３年３月５日にご逝去されました。ご生前、・ポウハタン号　1隻め制作　これでいっぺんに「ポウハタン号」の名が広がりました・ロアノウク号制作・ナイアガラ号制作　　以上で「遣米使節三船」が揃いました・ポウハタン号2隻め制作・寄進その他東善寺「たつなみ会会員」としても小栗上野介顕彰を支えてくださったことに感謝し、哀悼の意を表します。　　　　東善寺住職　村上泰賢 Respect and condolence Mr. Hideyuki Okazaki passed away on March 5, 2021. Before his death, he made the following sailing ship models for us: - The first model of the Powhatan: The name "Powhatan" spread rapidly with the completion of this model. - The model of the Roanoke - The model of the Niagara: With this, the "Three Ships for the Japanese Envoys to the U.S." were complete. - The second model of the Powhatan: It was donated by Mr. Okazaki. He also supported the campaign to honor Kozukenosuke Oguri as a member of the Tatsunami-kai at Tozenji Temple. I would like to express my gratitude and condolences for his support. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Taiken Murakami, the priest of Tozenji Temple

玉蟲左太夫の墓まいり Visit to the grave of Sadayu Tamamushi

保春院・仙台藩士玉蟲左太夫の墓がある Hoshunin Temple: The grave of Sadayu Tamamushi, a samurai of the Sendai clan, is located in the precinct of the temple.		玉蟲は遣米使節に随行し、『航米日録』を残した。近代人の目で詳細な日記を書いていることに、驚かされる。リーフレット『遣米使節三船』を供え献香し、読経する。 Sadayu Tamamushi accompanied the Japanese envoys to the U.S. in 1860 and wrote “Kobei Nichiroku (Diary of Visiting the U.S.).” It is astonishing to see how he wrote a detailed diary with the eyes of a modern person. I offered the leaflet of "Three Ships for the Japanese Mission to the United States" and incense in front of the tombstone, and read sutras.
