きれいに片付けられた作業台に　２本の根掘り竹が置いてあり

それを見たRさんは　思いました　（うわ～美しい！）

今までに見た白竹（しらたけ）の中でも　透き通るような質感が際立っていました

（どこの竹材屋さんの仕上げかな・・・？）

そんなことを考えていると　M部長が横に来て　言いました

「昨年　うちで油抜きをしたものですよ」　　「・・・本当ですか！！」

仕事に対する理想の非常に高いM部長が　竹の仕上がりに相好を崩したのを

初めて見ました

冬の吹雪の中　根掘りをして下さったN林業さんにも　感謝があふれます

I found two bamboo loots laying on the bench and I thought "How beautiful they are!"
They had the most beautiful and almost translucent quality of texture that I have never seen before, among a type of bamboo called Shiratake.
"I wonder which company finished them."
Mr. M, our production manager told me that our company finished them last year.
I was happy to see him smiling with a satisfied look for the first time, because he is very strict with his work.
Besides all that, I appreciate the efforts of "N" forestry which cut down those bamboo loots in the snowstorm last winter.
