第5回「3月11日に波に乗ろう」（2026）アーカイブ映像できました | The 5th “Let’s Ride a Wave on 3.11” is now online!
english follows
「10回続けるよ」といつからか言い始めたこの取り組みも、第5回目…ということは、今年で折り返しの記念回です。それぞれのなりゆきで集まった人たちのご縁が、ゆかいに絡み合い、あちらこちらで思いがけない出会いと展開を生み出していく。そんな私たちのミラクルなのになんでもない「のっぴ」*な時間をぜひ仲本拡史監督のあたたかな視点の映像でご覧ください。
今年も参加してくださった皆さん、支えてくださった皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。 *「のっぴ (ngupi)」とはアチェ地方の方言で特に用事がなくとも仲間と集いコーヒーをすすることの意味です。 Somewhere along the way, we started saying, “Let’s keep this going for ten years.”
This year marked the 5th of Let’s Ride the Waves on 3.11, bringing us to the halfway point of that journey. People gather here, each following their own path. As they spend time together, their stories gently intertwine, leading to unexpected encounters, new friendships, and collaborations that continue to ripple outward long after the day has ended. What makes this gathering so special is that these moments feel both quietly miraculous and completely ordinary at the same time. We call this kind of time ngupi*.
We warmly invite you to experience this year’s gathering through the archive film.
To everyone who joined us, and to everyone who has supported this journey over the years—thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn’t have done it without you. *Ngupi is a word from Aceh, Indonesia. It describes the simple act of gathering with friends over a cup of coffee, even when there’s no particular reason or agenda.

talking on kochira fukushima hōsōshitsu… engawanoie had begun long before it opened.「こちら福島放送室」で話してみたら──そうか、縁側の家はずっと前から始まっていたんだ
みっちゃんワンオペ姉弟の七五三＋犬のコロ our mother, Micchan solo parenting while my father was away at sea, celebrating our Shichi-Go-San with my brother, our dog Koro, and me.
I recently had the pleasure of joining four episodes of the podcast Kochira Fukushima Hōsōshitsu, a show I’ve genuinely enjoyed listening to for quite some time.
The podcast is hosted by Akio Yamamoto, originally from Tokyo and now living in Hamadori, Fukushima since the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 (Chair of the NPO inVisible), and Tatsuhiro Yamane, Representative of the F-ATRAs and a member of the Futaba Town Council. Through conversations with people active across the region, they continue exploring Hamadori from many different perspectives.
When Akio invited me to join, I immediately thought, “That sounds fun!” and happily headed over.
With their lively rhythm and remarkable ability to catch exactly what I was trying to say—even before I had fully found the words—I somehow ended up talking and talking… and before we knew it, our conversation had grown into four full episodes. Oops.
Afterward, I realized there was one important thing I had completely forgotten to mention: my mother, Micchan. She was the one who quietly turned my father into the hero of our family while he spent so much of his life away at sea. Somehow, those beautiful everyday moments with her were so deeply woven into who I am that they never occurred to me to talk about. Looking back now, I realize that my mother’s way of embracing life—with joy, good food, and unwavering encouragement—was one of the true foundations of engawanoie.
Talking with Akio and Tatsuhiro—and learning from the work they continue to do—left me feeling deeply inspired. Hamadori has own energy. It reminded me how much I want to keep nurturing that spirit, together with the people who call this place home.
It’s a rather long conversation (mostly because I tend to wander from one story to another!), so perhaps it’s best enjoyed while taking a walk, driving a long distance, or simply listening in the background while doing something else.
Akio, Tatsuhiro—thank you so much for such a wonderful conversation. I truly enjoyed every minute of it, and I’m looking forward to many more conversations in the future.
A cycling-travel journalist, Cherise Fong, has written a beautifully detailed article for the French online magazine MAKERY Magazine about her experience at “Let’s ride a wave on March 11 (2025).”
“…Finding that sweet spot that makes me feel like I’m smack in the saddle,
riding a slithering sea dragon,
sliding across its rippling scales,
till it finally dives back into the sand.” * Excerpt from Cherise’s column in the article “Riding the Sea Dragons.”
ahhh, indeed, reading this, even the chimney in Iwasawa feels like a giant quietly watching over us. Acually….. I met one of those calm, majestic dragons this morning! yey! The sea, the dragons, and Cherise—thank you to all of them.
we declared that we would continue “let’s ride a wave on march 11” for ten years—and this year marks the fifth edition! halfway there already? either way, we hope, as always, to spend some truly ngupi time together. (ngupi is a word from the aceh dialect meaning to casually gather, sip coffee, and just hang out—basically, the best possible way to be.)
with soichiro’s wide-open, free-flowing direction, on march 10 (the day before), we will be moving forward with whatever we feel like doing. enjoy this quietly bubbling, organic fermentation that feels so much like us. drop-ins are very welcome. on march 11, we ask that you make a reservation in advance. join us in whatever way suits your schedule! looking forward to seeing you!

subtitles in the oven — almost ready to serve!

今年も温かく素敵な時間が流れた「3月11日に波に乗ろう」。前夜祭、3月11日、さらに翌日まで何と素晴らしい時間であったことか。野草や竹と戯れ、地中や海底に思いを馳せ、時＝生命の営みを知ったようなやはり分からないような。。そんな素晴らしき日々でした。本会は深い意味はなく、ただただ3月11日に集い、サーフィンをし、美味しい食事を食べ、ダラダラと過ごすためだけの会です。そんな時間を、もしよろしければ、ぜひご共有ください！まずは仲本拡史監督による20分のハイライト映像をどうぞ。
そして、何と本作が台北当代芸術館で開催中の展覧会「安全室-safe room」（会期：5月24日~9月7日）のイベントとして8月23日に上映されるとか！本当でしょうか！
let’s ride a wave on 3.11 was once again filled with warmth and beautiful moments this year. from the evening before, through march 11, and into the next day, we shared a magical stretch of time — playing with wild herbs and bamboo, reflecting on the earth and seabed, and sensing the flow of time and life itself .
as we always say, this event carries no deep meaning — just surfing together on march 11, enjoying good food, and spending good time with one another. if you’d like, come experience our “nothing special” days by checking out a 20-minute highlight reel by hirofumi nakamoto.
and guess what — the film will be screened for one day only on august 23 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei (MoCA), as part of the exhibition safe room (may 24–sep.7). can you believe it?
追伸：今年はさらに岩沢サーフコミュニティのレジェンド、関根乃さん、坂本巌さん、鈴木一司さんにお話いただいた「岩沢海岸発見史」のアーカイブ映像制作も進行中です。仲間愛とサーフィン愛に満ちた珠玉の物語です。どうぞ楽しみにお待ちください。
p.s. we’re also working on an archive film, the history of discovering iwasawa beach, featuring legendary members of the iwasawa surf community — mr. osamu sekine, mr. gan sakamoto, and mr. katsuji suzuki. a gem of a story, full of surfing spirit and deep friendship. stay tuned!

縁側の家のロゴができました！
ta-daaaaa! here’s the logo of engawanoie!
ご縁があって譲り受けた縁側の家。この家やここの木々や土地たちは、私たちと一緒に楽しんでいるだろうか。いつもそんな事を考えています。
アレックス・シャウヴェッカーは、そんな私たちをロゴに描き出してくれました。実は他にもたくさんの（どれもこれも素敵な）アイデアスケッチを描いてくれたアレックスとのやりとりは、縁側の家を改めて考える愛おしい時間でした。アレックス、本当にありがとう。
engawanoie came to us through a special family connection, and ever since, I’ve often wondered—are the house, its trees, and the land enjoying this journey with us?
Alex Schauwecker captured that feeling beautifully in our new logo. He shared so many wonderful sketches, and working with him was a joyful process that made us love engawanoie even more. Thank you, Alex, for this amazing design! We’re so excited about our new logo and can’t wait to welcome you all on the sunlit engawa.

now in its fourth year, this event has taken on a life of its own, like an organic being that keeps evolving in the most exciting ways. watching it all unfold has been such a thrill!
one co-organizer, soichiro mihara, has fully embraced local life—becoming the “new kid” at tomioka elementary, cheerfully digging up leeks at watanabe farm, and foraging for wild plants with pure glee. the magical hiromi tsukayama, like a playful wizard, happily forages wild herbs with gusto wherever she goes! meanwhile, the other co-organizer, yosaku matsutani, had what seemed like a stroke of divine inspiration while waiting for waves during a surf session. with his curious, researcher-like mind, he unearthed fascinating stories about discoveries at iwasawa beach. together, we even headed out to local schools for some scouting. what an adventure it’s been! this year’s program is brimming with exciting highlights. check out all the details at the link below! keywords: local surf, art, and education community; farming and food; team collaboration; filmmaker hirofumi nakamoto and a local crew; storytelling about discoveries at iwasawa beach; legendary appearances; ache; iwaki’s homemade treats by sayari and artist kika suzuki; watanabe farm & soba fubito; wild plants; visualization training; hot springs; and, of course, hide chef!
