| In the past, many boats commuted along
Tone River, and boats and steam ships transported people and goods.
There used to be many anchorage and shipping a gents around Toride.
A long history is also marked by countless number of fl oods. Local
farmers still have Tabune, special boats they used on rice paddi es,
and Sappa-bune for escaping from floods. Boats still commute between
Tor ide and Oobori area on the opposite side of Tone River. Furutone-numa
marsh is the area where the river used to wind. Remembering such local
history in the boat project, participants collect Sappa-bune left
around Toride and for m a floating bridge across Furutone-numa, connecting
two cities, Toride and Abiko.> |
